"I wish I loved you." Words spoken on a clear night. Just the once couple standing on a cliff overlooking the wide valley below them.

"I wish I loved you" one head snaps to the other. Her face is illuminated by starlight. The same starlight that makes his tears shine even brighter.

"I wish I loved you" is what she said but what he heard was "I never loved you."

"I wish I loved you" ugly honest words that cloud an otherwise clear night. He falls to his knees crying. Her arms wrap around her body in a hug that she is tempted to give the boy beside her but knows she cannot.

Instead her eyes remain skyward, thinking of a future with someone else. Someone who is awkward and shy. Someone who doesn't like people but can command a roomful at ease. Someone who would jump in front of lightening for her.

"I wish I loved you" words that break one heart, set free another, and unknowingly give hope to a third.
