Meanings of Episode 26 "Eternal Love"

The interesting thing about episode 26 is its English title "Eternal Love" in the original Japanese title is actually "Eien no omoi" (永遠の想い).

 想い "omoi" has many many meanings, some of which are:
thought
feeling
emotion
expectation
wish
longing
yearning
the heart
desire
(from http://thesaurus.weblio.jp/content/%E6%83%B3%E3%81%84)

While I agree with the English translation for the episode title, I always thought of the actual meaning as "eternal longing," and that's what I'm trying to put into DS.
