Saudade

by Evan Hall

Saudade is a Portuguese word that a deep emotional state of melancholic longing for a person or thing that is absent. I dedicated it to someone very close to An old friend and flame. I wanted to navigate the choppy waters of loving and longing, and end it in its inevitable souring. My goal was to regard this subject with realistic eyes as opposed to rose-tinted goggles, almost as if I were a third party observing it unfurl. The rise and fall of love, if you will, the inevitable cycle we long to experience anew though we know what awaits.
