Yours And Mine

I'm afraid of pain, both yours and mine, both yours and mine
I'm afraid of pain, from where it comes and where it falls

Well I'm not, and it's a good thing too. So many endings are happening right now:

1) I taught my last yoga class at Pinnacle after 9 years on Tuesday;
2) My 9 year on again, off again relationship is ending on Friday; and
3) Orange is the New Black ended for good.

Of course, number two is by far the biggest deal, though not the origin of today's song. That's brought to you courtesy of OITNB:

Somebody lit the store on fire
Somebody lit the house on fire
Somebody lit the crowd on fire, marching away
And you've got nothing to say
And you've got nothing to say
Have you got nothing to say?

For those of you who told me I should stay indoors
Take care of you and yours, take care of you and yours
But me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
We've got a long way to go before we get home
'Cause this ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home

Take care of you and yours, take care of you and yours
But me and mine (me and mine)

This ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home

Take care of you and yours
Take care of you and yours
Take care of you and yours
Take care of you and yours

Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine (me and mine)
Me and mine

We've got a long way to go before we get home
'Cause this ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home anymore
This ain't my home anymore

I feel this. Deep inside I feel this. That my home was with the New Englander, and now it's ain't...

Good thing I trust that I have a home inside myself in which to reside - a safe, cozy, protected space - this is an especially good thing since I am also getting ready to sell my house.

Oof! So much transition...
