Mamihlapinatapai: (noun)

A look shared by two people,
 each wishing that the other would
 initiate something that they both desire
 but which neither wants to begin. 



The definition is roughly translated. Apparently it's quite difficult to concretely translate it, which is, obviously, understandable.

I'm getting massive urges to write again and it's probably only because I won't have a lot of time. I have a short story that I haven't finished but this word and these images recall my intentions to finish that piece. Maybe I'll post it in small segments if I manage to finish and edit it.
