شِئْتُ I wished

This is a past-tense verb with the first-person 'I' built into its -tu ending, no separate pronoun needed. Under the 'if' particle it sits as the condition's verb, the wishing that the rest hangs on. The past shape here carries hypothetical force, the standard pattern after this kind of 'if'.
