  • It cannot be undone.
  • 02br 02br 00In the present: 02br 00"I wish you were here": I miss you, you're not here, I'd like it if you were here with me (but you're not) 02br 02br 00In the present/future 02br 00"I wish you would quit smoking": you smoke, I don't like it, and I'd like it if you decided (would = from your own will) to quit smoking.
  • So this situation can change in the future, if the person decides to quit smoking.
