Remembrance
A memory from long ago has now resurfaced all of a sudden
Our younger days, full of laughter, when we were free and so reckless
Our sweet friendship, our college years, will never leave me, yes even now
Oh to be young, to be hopeful, to have some dreams and know no fear
Oh how I long to return there to feel the wind beneath my wings
Oh how I wish to turn back time to find again my naïve self
I know it is pointless, just a dream, just a yearning
I know I should move on, be grateful for my life now
Someone, someone wake me up from this endless nostalgia
Please help me get back on track to happiness
Please help me leave past behind and get some peace

Have you ever felt that pang of sadness when you realize you have taken your youth for granted? Have you ever taken love for granted until you arrive at a point where the person you love the most is not a hundred percent the way you remember them to be? I managed to talk to Moira about our relationship to each other but I still mourned the fact that we had thirty-plus years of togetherness that she couldn't seem to recall. It felt as if someone accidentally hit reset button.
I had continued going to Dr. Torres' counseling sessions and Moira seemed to be interested in how those sessions had helped me—each time I returned from the clinic, she would ask me to share how I had been feeling and what I had learned. At one point, she even suggested that she could perhaps accompany me to the appointments just to see for herself what it was like to be in therapy. I appreciated her wanting to get into my head but there were things I prefer to keep to myself. As a compromise, however, I let my wife listen to some parts of my voice recordings.
