you'll never stop longing to see his smile again.

you love him.

and no matter how difficult the haunting imagery, and all the what-ifs, you love him--through it all. and that's the most important thing.

love can be a double-edged sword; if we didn't love so deeply we wouldn't hurt so deeply.

it sounds like you've been through an incredibly hard time for a long time, and again, i'm so sorry. i hope you are able to find comfort in the memories you cherish and in the days ahead.
