The Word I Wish I Said Novels & Stories

“Years ago—” “I’m not that guy anymore.” A tear falls. I wipe it away and then recross my arms. “Sometimes.” I shake my head. What I’m about to say isn’t smart, but the sentiment has been playing in my mind on repeat. “Sometimes, I wish we could go back. Have a redo.” “What would you redo?”

I seriously let go of the words. @Death Wish

Wish me luck! /W.W/

"Just say it." "I.. I wish.. I wish to.." lalong tumalim ang mata nito ng paputol-putol akong magsalita. Naramdaman kong hinawakan na niya ng mahigpit ang mga braso ko at wala akong nagawa kundi ang mapabuga ng hininga at mapatungo. "I.. I wish.." I wish I can talk to my mother, please.

A small gasp escaped my lips when I sighted something move really fast in the sky. Oh my God! It's a shooting star! I stared at it in awe, it was so beautiful. 'Make a wish' Closing my eyes I took in a deep breath. "I-I wish.. i would finally be happy for once in my life." Opening my eyes, I watched as the star moved pass me. I closed my eyes and smiled, feeling like things are going to be okay for me. I would finally be happy.

words that made me wish this was real. "I love you, Scarlett... You are mine..."

“I guess what I’m saying is, I wish you were here to see it. Or maybe I just wish you were here, period. Anyway… yeah. That’s it. Call me back if you want.” Silence. Then the automated voice: End of message. She replayed it again. And again. Each time, she searched for something new, something buried beneath the casual phrasing. Did his pause mean more? Did the quiet laugh under his breath hold an affection he didn’t dare put into words? By the fifth replay, she was dissecting the word wish as if it were a contract clause. He hadn’t said need. He hadn’t said miss. He had said wish. And yet, the fact that he wished at all… was that enough?

"What did you ask for today?" I was silent for a moment when he asked me. "A-Ah, it can't be s-said! The wish won't come true if told to others." Even if the wish can be said, I will never tell him! Needless to say, Xander, I wished you would like me too...but I don't want to embarrass myself! Just this shooting star is my hope. When my wish comes true today, I will no longer think that my wishes came true by coincidence.

I said as I softly bit my lips. “Ohhh, your wish is my command, baby girl.”

This gave us immense peace. I placed my head on his shoulders while he smiled looking at me. "I wish, I could stop the time right here and right now," I spoke in a sad tone. "You have no idea how much I wish the same," he replied. "What a chaotic mess is this. Our lives," I uttered. "I wish I could deny that," he chuckled. "I wish," I gasped and went silent. We had so many 'I wish' but we could see none of them coming true. I had chosen my path and so did he.
