Thanks.

  • It depends on what you want it to mean.
  • "Wish … came" means that she came back, and you wish she hadn't.
  • It is the same as "wish … had never come back".
  • The original sentence is faulty, though, so I have no confidence that I know what you're trying to say.

It depends on what you want it to mean. "Wish … came" means that she came back, and you wish she hadn't. It is the same as "wish … had never come back". The original sentence is faulty, though, so I have no confidence that I know what you're trying to say. You can't wish that she never comes back as a matter of idiom.
