The Words I Wish I Saif Novels & Stories

He stood there awkwardly, clearly struggling to find the right words. I spoke first. “You can go now. I don’t want to hear more apologies. During my time here, I’ve found myself again. I’ve rediscovered the dreams I’d abandoned, and you know me well enough to understand. If I’ve made up my mind, nothing you do can change it, especially when there’s a child involved.” This time, I turned away first. I had watched him walk away from me so many times before that this time, I wanted him to feel it.

I talked in past tense guys.” she replied rolling her eyes. “That means..” I staretd saying but didn’t continued.

It’s gotten so bad, I’d even be grateful for a month-long coma, just so I could get decent sleep for more than three hours, if you know what I mean… oh, dang it, don't take that lit

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.
