Is there a word for nostalgia for something you never really had? Something that might have, could have, even should have been, but never was?

I got home tonight to find a card from Kirk in my mailbox.

I don't think English has such a word. German probably does. They seem to do better at expressing gradiations of melacholy. I wish a had a talent for languages...
