There is a Brazilian word to describe specifically when you miss something or miss someone, in english you can "miss the bus" or "miss someone you love", one has the meaning of being late and loosing the oportunity to catch a bus and the other has the meaning of feeling bad or just thoughtfull because of the lacking presence of someone you hold dear, respectivelly.

"Saudades" is a word that describes a feeling, an emotion of utter sadness, anger or just pure melancolic nostalgia, yhis emotion is present whenever you think of a thing, something lost, maybe you lost it a while ago, maybe it was just 2 (two) hours ago, doesn't matter, i ain't one for giving linguistic lessons, my dislexic ass couldn't handle writing more than 4 paragraphs worth of text.

However, this little word, it allways comes to mind when think of my dog, i love seeing other people playing with and showing off their dogs, i myself do enjoy petting and just having fun with those little buggers, but, everytime i see a dog, i instantly remember him, whenever i ampetting a dog, the only consistently recurring thought is;

"Man, i wish this was Bugui, i'd give my fingers, fuck, even an arm, to be able to pet that fucker one last time..."
