惜 close but no cigar
ONYOMI: SEKI
Long ago, I lost my heart in a tragic affair. I came so close to getting the SEXY woman of my dreams, which makes it all the more regrettable.
DESCRIPTION: -
KUNYOMI:

close! Not as in, "Godzilla is close to Ultraman's size". Close, as in you throw a ball to a little kid and he drops it and you are like 'That was close! Almost!'
(1/2 KANA)
- お＊しむ
-
to regret something, to have a little grudge about it.
