Mmmm.
My heart is aching lately, due to lack of Steven.
I just found this community, and felt the need to TALK! You guys are the only ones who would understand.
My name is Lindsay, I'm 19 and live in Rhode Island. I've had the priviledge of going to over 15 Aerosmith concerts over the past seven years, and I've met Aerosmith twice, Steven three times.
The last time I met Steven was the best...
My boyfriend knows people who know Steven and Joey. Last November, my boyfriend and I got tickets and VIP passes to the New Hampshire show from them. We were told that the VIP passes wouldn't get us anywhere, but that we could try to get backstage if we found a way.
To make a long story short, we did, and we walked in on the end of a meet 'n greet. A lady came up to my boy and I, and she told us to step aside because Steven would be walking by. She asked us not to take pictures, and she asked us to not reach out to Steven.
I have really bad social anxiety, so it was really hard for me, especially since the lady said we weren't supposed to reach out to Steven. But he was walking exactly towards my boyfriend and myself, and I couldn't just watch him walk away.
Right as he walked by me, about two feet away from me, I said, "Steven, you're beautiful."
He stopped and looked at me, then asked, "Are you sure?"
I was so stunned that he responded, that I kind of just stood there. lol. I was such an idiot. Then Steven came closer to me, looked into my eyes and asked again, "Are you sure?"
I finally said, "Yes, you're beautiful. I love you."
He responded with, "Well, you're beautiful-er!" and kissed my cheek.
STUNNED. I was stunned. lol. I think I said something like, "I love you" and I gave him a quick hug. He looked into my eyes and just looked at me for a moment then said, "I love you, too."
Then he walked away.
I was SHAKING. I couldn't and still can't believe that he willingly spent a moment with me. And as I said, I have really bad social anxiety, and wasn't on any meds at that point, so I damn near died, I was so nervous, but I was so happy.
He said I was beautiful and kissed my cheek? Eek...It's been almost a year since it happened and my heart still flutters when I think about it.
He got so close to me...And just looked into my eyes for what felt like years. lol. Everything just stopped, it felt like. I've never connected with somebody like that before...He just gazed into my eyes and smiled at me, and he was so beautiful. You wouldn't believe how much cuter he is in person than he is in pictures and on tv. When he's looking at you, the world just stops.
He's such a sweet man, I've looked up to him since I was a little kid.
Today I went to aerosmith.com and downloaded that video of Steven singing "Dream On" with that Berklee college band, and it's so touching! At the end of it he cries a little...and...I don't know. He's beautiful. And he has such a kind heart.
I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for him.
I guess I'll go now that I've talked your ears off. Take care, everybody. It's nice to meet you. :)
