Young Man: "Brendan?"
Myself: "Yes?"
Young Man: "Is there a word that describes the feeling...when you had something, but don't have it anymore...but then later you want that thing?"
Myself: (considering) "Envy? Jealousy?"
(young man frowns, does not seem to think these words fit)
Myself: "Desire? Uh...nostalgia?"
Young Man: (lighting up) "I feel nostalgic."
Myself: "Ah hah. And what is it that you want?"
Young Man: (look of contemplation on face) "I feel nostalgic for my lunch."
