You had been given a gift.
You held these words so tightly to yourself that it may have been real, that it could be granted, that it had meant that someone loved you enough to give what was most precious to them: "I wish...".

This gift is an heirloom.
Your entire life, you refrained from saying two words in passing-fearing that it may come true.
