āā ā * . Ā ā MIHAEL KEEHL HAS SEEN ⦠MANY THINGS . has gone through peopleĀ like phases in his life - the curse of being someone who canāt stay in one place , someone who canāt give awayĀ too much to commit to others . the only constant is her , and he doesnāt voice it verbally , but such a constant is entrusted with his life . the comfort when shit goes awry , just like it was back thenĀ when he was greeted with one more being pushed out of yet another personāsĀ life for what he interpreted as him not being good enough . ITāS NOT SECRET melloās greatest insecurity is what he amounts to - especially to other people . he is never the first choice to anyone - always the second . or of course , cast away .
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā unless , youāre herĀ , who picks him first . he holds that close to his heart and will continue doing so when heās six feet under . because the crackĀ of a smile he gives her and the warmth in icicle hues is not one he gives anybody else , itās reserved for uma & uma only .Ā ā damn , i donāt think iāll make the cut then ,Ā ā he banters in return , a playful stomp of combat boots before he turns to uma again . crossing the arms ,Ā āĀ fancy , fancy , and ā¦Ā ā maybe when she lit up , he did as well . smile turns to a grin , as replies ,Ā ā show me , show me - whatās the best part ? ā
