Fishlock is Wales' record appearance maker and goalscorer, having won 166 senior caps and scored 48 times.
She stepped away from Wales duty in the wake of Euro 2025, the country's first major international women's football tournament, insisting it was "the right time" after her farewell appearance in a friendly against Australia.
On the idea of playing some part for Wales in their 2027 World Cup qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro in March, Fishlock remains coy.
"I would love to stay involved in some capacity; it wasn't a clean break - I still text the girls all the time. But we will just wait and see," Fishlock told BBC Sport.
Fishlock played 18 times for Seattle Reign last season and helped them qualify for the end-of-season play-offs in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
Her contribution at club level has led some in Wales to suggest she could still play a full part as Wilkinson's team attempt to qualify for the Women's World Cup finals for the first time.
But though Fishlock says she misses her international team-mates, she has reiterated that the time has come for the next generation to take over.
"People have said, if you are back you may as well play," she says. "But it is still the right time not to play internationals.
"I still want to help any way I can, my experience being around might help. But no, no thoughts about coming out of retirement."
Fishlock also has no regrets about the Euros, despite Wales being outclassed in a group with France, Netherlands and eventual champions England.
Wales lost all three games while conceding 13 goals, leaving them with the worst group stage record in the history of the competition.
"I still look back at it with such pride and joy," Fishlock says. "Getting to represent the entire country, it was even more impactful that I thought it was going to be.
"Seeing how Wales showed up for us, that was the best part of it all. As a competitor it hurt, but the whole world seeing who we are as a nation overrides it.
"I still get goosebumps coming out for the first game [versus Netherlands] and seeing the Red Wall - it will stay with me forever."
