nostalaglow
noun
The experience of a past crush that surfaces from memories, where there was a momentary spark of mutual interest followed by withdrawal. It leaves lingering thoughts about unrealized potential, and a nostalgia for who you were and the emotions you felt, tinged with a shade of regret.
From Greek 'nostos' (return home) + Old English 'glo' (brief blaze), representing a brief blaze of nostalgia for past emotional experiences. Pronounced "nah-STAH-lah-gloh"
