0 I'm looing for a word that expresses my feeling. I don't know if I can characterize the word as a "feeling". If you ask me why I didn't look up the dictionary, Actually, I can't use my native language in my lap-top. And I don't know any dictionary that I can find a word by its meaning. 02br
02br
00It's a sort of rememberence. But, actually, I don't agree that what I wanna say is "rememberence." In my memory, My native-English dictionary has suggested "rememberence" for what I wanna say. 02br
02br
00But I don't feel any strong emotion from "rememberence." I feel like "rememberence" is just remembering. But what I wanna say has strong emotion. 02br
02br
00When people say "I really miss you," what feeling do they have? That's what I want to say. Especially, I have this feeling when I want to see a person who I can't see now. But I'm not talking about "desire." Yes, actually, it's absolutely "a kind of desire." 02br
02br
00I don't know if my describe was enough. My internet connection is going banana again. >_02<

0 Can you give us an example of the way you want to use this word, nice? It sounds to me that "nostalgia" might fit the bill, as Mr. P. suggested. 02br
