That simple thing

It’s the simple things of life
 that affects me the most
with the loss of you
 
Like taking out the trash
Washing the car and filling it up
Thinking about tire pressure and oil changes
Mowing the yard and raking leaves
Unclogging the sink, and checking the washers
Making sure the doors are locked and
learning to prepare a meal for one.
 
But the simplest
Is that kiss, each night,  
you placed on my sweet spot
That would lull me to sleep.
 
That simple gesture,
so uncomplicated,  
is the one thing  
that I miss the most
and the very thing
I can't seem to live without.
