Which sentence is grammatically correct?

a) I have never seen you without thinking him.
b) I have never seen you without thinking of him.

Hi globe,

It might be better without the double negative:

Every time I see you, I think of him.

at first I read globe's orginal sentences, I didn't get it. I thought he meant "everytime when I see you, you are always thinking of him"

but after I read lotus's reply, I found the sentence meant something else.
