I will not let him steal my happiness.

I will look at the sky,
The wide immeasurable expanse of blue
With streaks of white bleeding through.

I will admire the ocean
As great mountains of water
Crash against a coarse coast.

I will look at the road and imagine how
It curves and flows into strangely familiar places.

And yet,
In all of this,
I still run into his face.

I see his warm eyes in the sun.

I find his mind in the deep depths
Of the azure ocean.

And I discover that,
Somehow,
Every road leads me back to his smile.
