The Word I Wish I Said Novels & Stories

’ I wish it was all true. Sigh!

We can win this war 'I hope so' I wished.

I just whispered, too soft for anyone else to hear: “I wish I never signed that paper.”

He asked, "Do you want me to come wash your back for you?" I knew I had to reply but didn't know what to say. I couldn't tell him the truth, which was, yeah, I'd love that. My brain wasn't functioning correctly, so I texted, "Yeah, I wish," and hit send without thinking. That ended our texting, and all I could say was what an idiot I was. Telling him I wished he would come to wash my back made me sound desperate. The one thing I didn't want to come across as.

“I wish I could hate you too.” |-_-| /-_-\ |-_-|

She always tried to seem strong in front of me and now she let her walls crumble a little. " Oh my God sweety, I never wanted you to see me like this. I wished that this moment would never come but I guess wishes don't come true. Seeing as how everything I have ever wished for never came true I would say enough with the wishes." She pauses and took a breath.

The words came slowly this time. Carefully. “I wish my parents were still alive…” My voice broke completely now. “I wish everything was different…” If they were here… If life had been kinder… If there wasn’t always something breaking apart… Would I still be here? Would I still be like this? Alone. Surrounded by people… But completely alone. “I wish they just lived happily…” I added softly. “And I wasn’t part of all this…” The tears didn’t stop. They couldn’t. Because for the first time in a long time…

I whispered the words before I could stop myself. “How I wish this face would be the one marrying me.”

Letting the weight of the wish I’d made curl into my chest like smoke. And I said the words again, just for me: I’m going to get her back. If it’s the last thing I ever do.

Damn, I am so hard! Wish us luck!
