Texter's great amusement about German denial turned to desire (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
long for
'desire' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'texter's great amusement about german denial turned to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'great' could be 'g' (abbreviation in place names) and 'g' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
