Always

"We slept in the same bed. 
There was never a right time to say it. 
It was always unnecessary. 
The books in my father's shed were sighing. 
The sheets were rising and falling around me with Anna's breathing. 
I thought about waking her 
but it was unnecessary. 
There would be other nights. 
And how can you say I love you to someone you love? 
I rolled onto my side and fell asleep next to her. 
Here is the point of everything I have been trying to tell you... 
It's always necessary. 
I love you..." 


~ Jonathan Safran Foer
