The soft feel of her skin.
The gentle fragrance of her hair.
The soft curve of her lips.
The distant memory of shared body heat.
Letting these things go means he too would be freed. It would mean that he could maybe, just maybe find another. Another he could touch, could hold, a companion.
But he can't. He can't let go, he fears that if he does there will be nothing of himself left. So it's the little things that get him through the lonely nights and long days. It's the little things that give him hope, and it's his hope that he fights for.
