Raven Masters's definitions

Rilirin

Wistfulness for something that never was, nostalgia for times and places not lived-in. Perhaps contains traces of regret and wishes that never came to fruition, but it's mostly about feelings of nostalgia that aren't pointing to your past.

I see how you are with Mary, and wish it were me instead. I know it can't happen. You don't need to do anything, it's only rilirin.
