If you’re in love with a dead person and you hold the dead person to a standard of perfection rivaled only by Jesus Christ, nobody is ever going to allow themself to ever fall in love with you. You cannot honor someone’s memory by making them into a perfect being. In fact, if anyone leaves that kind of impression on you, you never could have known them in the first place because nobody is perfect. All you’re doing is torturing yourself and everyone you talk to when you insist someone was perfect. Enjoy your life alone with your ghost. You’ll never find anyone living who can match the perfection of a memory.
