lovesick
Yearning for someone
Lovesick describes the miserable, distracted state of someone pining for another person—especially when the feeling is unrequited or the beloved is absent.
The condition manifests as loss of appetite, inability to concentrate, and general melancholy: She's been lovesick ever since he left for college.
The word treats romantic longing as a kind of illness.
