Miller:When Talon left to play pro football six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were.

The guy who's more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.I'm not going to let him get away.
