help 20 years search for O Henry story/poem

[fromtheblock]

While in college I heard an O'Henry story as part of a homily that I have been search for since then. The gist of the story is about a man looking for the perfect women but evenly dies alone and realizes the a companion was his love.

Can anyone help me identifying this story?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know the story, but I wouldsuggest that you look through compilations of his works.
There are 15 titles available on this page.
