mugnesia
The feeling of anguish when you attempt to take a sip of your hot beverage, only to find you have already finished it without noticing or remembering: You forgot to savour that last sip, and now your expectation of satisfaction has been dashed, replaced with only grief.
It is a yearning, mourning, agony.

"I put down the report and went to take a well-earned swill of my venti mocha latte, when mugnesia struck! I had finished it and hadn't even noticed. My expectation of a satisfying hit of chocolate and caffeine flapped loose in the wind; raw, desperate and deeply unsatisfied, I mourned the memory of my lost coffee."
