A Wonderfully Torturous Tune

Beautiful music that now hurts to hear, but I long to hear again.
My obsession with the tune grows day by day, year by year.
I miss it so.
It keeps playing in my head, over and over.  A wonderfully torturous tune.
Years ago it was my raison d'être.  It brought such joy to my life.
Now although I sense the orchestra wants to play, it will not.
I need the music today as I did all those years ago, but I am not worthy of it.
I can only hope that one day the tune plays again for someone who will love it as much as I.
A tune so moving must not just heard, but adored.
