Néremoira

The quiet sorrow of unrealized connection—the ache for words unsaid, gestures unmade, and moments that hovered on the edge of happening but never did.

• From Latin “nē” (not) + “remorari” (to delay, to linger) + a poetic suffix -a to soften the ending.
• Echoes of “memoir” and “noir”—suggesting memory, shadow, and emotional depth.

• néremoira (neh-reh-MWAH-rah)
• “She sat in the café, steeped in néremoira, wondering if he had ever meant to come back.”
• “There’s a kind of néremoira in old messages never sent.”
