why are memories
          translucent
they fade away
          like rose colored dye

in an evanescent
          light
you hold onto them
          like an iced coffee -

slowly savored
          effervescent
alive as they replay
          in our hearts

in iridescent
          moments
turned into colors
          even more beautiful

as we forget details
          and hold onto
the feelings
          that come alive

a/n: please tell me if this is awful. i was trying to express the idea that memories fade over time, but the good ones you hold onto. you might not be able to remember every detail, but you remember the emotions.
