we only said goodbye with words

when i decided to change my name

mikey is so trite. so immature. so jejune. not really jejune. i was just looking for an opportunity to use that.

no one knows me as anything different and i can't imagine being called another name aside from 'mikey'. but it just feels so ridiculously child-like.

i want a new name altogether. just for now. i don't know if i really do, even. Michael may suit me just fine. or Sirius. or Salem. Yes. i would like to be called salem for a while. see if it fits.

salem.

Salem is a fine name, but I like Mikey.

Mikey is you. You is Mikey...okay, you ARE Mikey...

I called you Michael, once.. it sounded awkward only after I said it.
To me, you shall always be Mikey.
I love it.
