It's French and isn't translatable into English. It is basically the heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone that you can't have. It is not the same as "unrequited love" because that describes a relationship state, but not a state of mind. The phrase really defines the emotionally heartache, specifically of the one who's love is not being reciprocated.
How this isn't depressing, but I thought it just sounded so eloquent and beautiful. It actually made me feel better knowing that there is a word that perfectly depicts how I am feeling.
