SAUDADE

A FEELING OF NOSTALGIC LONGING FOR SOMETHING OR SOMEONE
THAT ONE WAS FOND OF
AND WHICH HAS BEEN LOST.
IT OFTEN CARRIES A FATALIST TONE
AND A REPRESSED KNOWLEDGE THAT THE OBJECT OF LONGING
MIGHT NEVER REALLY RETURN.
IT WAS ONCE DESCRIBED AS "THE LOVE THAT REMAINS"
OR "THE LOVE THAT STAYS"
AFTER SOMEONE IS GONE.
