Tense and attitudinals

Is it possible to tense, not an attitudinal itself, but the source of 
the emotion expressed?  I was trying to work out an attitudinal to 
express the nostalgic feelings brought about by finding some old 
friends on the Net, something like

.uisairo'a.uinairu'e ro'i

but I wanted to indicate that the first part is activated by the 
present situation, and the latter by memories (and regret that the 
situation is not as it was).
