Satarupa Rudrapal - Why Do Memories Linger?

Why do memories linger?
Why do you?
What is it that binds me to you?
Spreads its web of magic,
Entangles me in you?
Creates a spell of ecstasy,
And pulls me back to you?
Till my feelings lose their way
In tempestuous thoughts of yesterday!
And my emotions search around
For a resting place in your ground.
Why do emotions linger?
Why do you?
