The Words I Wish I Said Novels & Stories

"I missed out on a lot of things, huh?" "I wish I could say..." I stopped myself before I could complete the sentence. I realize how powerful my words are now. I do not dare accidentally use it. "Go on, wish for it," he said, teasing. I shook my head and gave him my best attempt at a smile. "I shouldn't," I whispered. "I was about to say something about next time." "I get it," he said. "Wish for it." No matter how much he teases me, I still can't say that wish.

LEXI “I just wish you hadn’t left. All of this could have been avoided.” He said and I couldn’t stop my jaw from dropping at his words. “So it’s my fault? Can I also say I wish you didn't walk out on me? That I wish you answered my messages and my calls?” I retorted right away. At this point, my eyes should be watering, but I was tired of crying about the past already. “And don’t tell me you never received them because I called you for hours after you stormed out of my apartment. Your phone was open, but you decided to just let it ring.”

I laid there with my eyes closed as all the memories flooded back. It was like seeing my life flash before my eyes. I did not need air anymore, but I felt the need to take a breath. It was a lot to take in. I had a life with Anthony. I was happy. I had friends. I was loved. What more could I have asked for? But I did ask for more… for a life with him. My want had made a dent in our relationship. I was barely around Anthony these past two years. All because I asked too much of him. Then when he grants my wish, after I promised nothing would change how I feel… I deny him. I turned away… all because he loved me enough to tell the truth.

It's the same damn words that have been sitting at the back of my throat the whole night, choking me. Giving it a shot, I close my eyes tightly and cross both of my fingers, putting all I've got into it. Please let Cory love me back. "I know I shouldn't ask this, but what was your wish?" "I'm not telling. It's not going to come true if I do." "Well, I'm going to tell you mine." He faces me, even if he can't see my face in the dark. "Your choice."

Then, without hesitation, I walked away from the home I had lived in for six years. On the plane heading abroad, I looked out at the endless sea of clouds beyond the window. I was finally on my way to living a life of my own. Goodbye, Wayne Miller.

Where did I lack that I lost you once again? Because I did love you, with everything I had… I just wish you talked to me… But I wasn’t important enough…
