★★Currently being rewritten★★ 'Il Mio' Pronunciation- | ill-me-oh | One of many Italian phrases for the English translation, 'mine'. The meaning of the word is very known and very blunt, it states that you have claimed an item or object. It tells other people not to take what your item or object is. Well I happen to not be an item or object and that's the first thing I was called by my 'ruthless and cold hearted' mate. Usually I would've freaked out and told him that I wasn't an object, but this ordeal was different than I imagined. And I did freak out on him, but for all the reasons you wouldn't think.
