Insomnia

<p>It was so many years ago when I first met her but almost like yesterday. Charlene the love of my life dominated my thoughts deep into the night and early morning hours. After six and a half years I still grieved like a lost puppy missing its mom. Insomnia can be dreadful incurable in some cases I suppose. Married sixty-three years Charlene left me looking as beautiful as the day she stepped into my life on her way home from high school to say hello to Onalee her next-door girlfriend. I didn't need a dictionary to define the word. But I did have two days the boyfriend's away and better yet she's right next door probably long overdue for a fun weekend. Guess she's unavailable Jack Onalee said after Charlene had left. Unavailable?</p><p>My sleeping girlfriend always a late riser hadn't moved. I checked the digital clock grimaced then resumed my trek down memory lane.</p>
