mixing conditionals

Hello dear teachers,

- One day you will miss me, too, but that day, it wouldn't be possible for me to come back to you even if I wished to.

is it natural and correct in terms of grammar, please? Would there be any difference in meaning if I said;

"One day you will miss me, too, but that day, it won't be possible for me to come back to you even if I wish to", instead?

Could we also say 'it won't be ... even if I wished to' or 'it wouldn't be ... wish to'?

Thank you.

Laborious is it natural and correct in terms of grammar, please? I don't think it is possible: I say it to myself and can take no clear meaning from it. Stick to one of these: One day you will miss me, too, but that day, it won't be possible for me to come back to you even if I wish to.
