The ADHD Mind Never Forgets That Moment

Have you ever cried? For love’s sake, have you ever cried? The tears of sorrow, the tears of wanting, needing and not having? What could have been?
 
The perceptions of a mind caught in the past, hopes and dreams, of the past so long ago?
 
There was that moment.

Do you remember?
 
Do you remember that moment? It was there. You held love so tight and you didn’t want to let go. It was so precious, so simple, so amazing, so complex, so extraordinary… it was everything.
 
There was that moment.
 
Do you remember?
 
Late at night, when you wake, do you remember it so clearly? Does it ever go away? It is like you just relived it again and you know, you know you will live it again… in your mind, in your dreams. Yes… again. Those memories so strong and so resiliently living within our minds. But the past is the past and it’s past.
 
Acceptance, letting go, concepts the ADHD mind has a way of avoiding. ~So many mistakes. Why did I say that? Why did I… there are so many things to pull back and stop, the impulse, the impatience, the destruction of something wonderful, something which could have been… which could have been so much more than the world and everything in it… it could have been, it should have been… and yet again, it’s the simple things, too quick to judge, to quick to act…
 
There was that moment.
 
Do you remember?
