The desire for a thing or situation which is very unrealistic but persists as a desireable alternative to reality. Its accumulation in the psyche leads to the state of being wistful. In large enough amounts wist can even lead to cognitive dissonance and melancholy.

A longing look into the distance, the key is to make it look like you naturally looking out at your loved one leaving for war, or in deep thought with a touch of happiness and a touch of sorrow.
"OMG BABEEEEEEEEEE! all those photos we took last night are so wistful we look great!"
"Get your Whist on babe and look wistful with me."
"Denyse doesn't even know what wistful means so we should show her *looks out into the distance like Mo-del Cheerleader"
" DON'T LOOK AT THE CAMERA!! you are so wistful"
"Get your Whist on babe and look wistful with me."
"Denyse doesn't even know what wistful means so we should show her *looks out into the distance like Mo-del Cheerleader"
" DON'T LOOK AT THE CAMERA!! you are so wistful"
