My Favourite Incomplete Wish

I think I've finally found a place for you.

Not in my future. Not in my regrets.

Not even in the part of my heart that still hurts.

I'll keep you as my favourite incomplete wish.

There was a time when I wanted to rewrite the ending. I thought if life gave us a little more time, a little more courage, a little less fear, perhaps we'd have become the story we imagined.

But life rarely asks what we would've chosen. It simply keeps moving.

And somewhere along the way, I realized something beautiful. Not everything that changes your life is meant to stay in it.

Some people don't arrive to belong to you forever. They arrive to introduce you to a version of yourself you had never met before.

You were never fully mine to hold forever. Never a promise I could claim. Maybe that's why the memories remained untouched by ordinary life. They never had the chance to become routine. They never grew old enough to lose their wonder. Maybe that's why they stayed beautiful.

People often think an incomplete story is automatically a sad one. I don't.

Some stories end before they are exhausted. Before resentment replaces admiration. Before love becomes obligation.

Some stories stop while they're still beautiful. And maybe that's a different kind of blessing.

So I won't carry you as a wound, Wounds ask to be healed.

I won't carry you as a regret, Regrets keep asking, "What if?"

I'll carry you as gratitude. As the quiet proof that, once in my life, my heart found someone it recognized without needing an explanation.

You taught me that I could love deeply. You taught me that distance doesn't always erase affection. And you taught me that not every beautiful thing is meant to be possessed. Some things are simply meant to be experienced.

So if anyone ever asks me about the wishes that never came true, I won't lower my eyes.

I'll smile. Because my favourite one had your name.

And somehow... Even without becoming mine,

you were one of the most beautiful things that ever happened to me.
