Ruminesce Edit Meaning

1.

To ruminate and/or reminesce (longingly and perhaps with no small sense of loss) as to something or someone no longer available or present as it once was.

to ruminesce; perhaps exemplified in the emotional ode to Chrissy Hynde's vanished home:

"I went back to Ohio

But my pretty countryside

Had been paved down the middle

By a government that had no pride

The farms of Ohio

had been replaced by shopping malls

And Muzak filled the air

From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

Said Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?"

See reminisce, haunt, long, melancholy, bittersweet
