*Love is a day,
Fleeting, not eternal.
Promises are vague,
Books are just stories, with happy endings or not.
Poems are feelings,
The truest among them,
For in poetry, you write what the heart thinks,
Not what the mind commands.
What’s left of you is nothing, an eternal void,
From the same love that was sworn to you.

Loving is a day,
Driving you home in your car
On a night that perhaps wasn't so romantic,
But beautiful.
It’s just a day.
Tomorrow it may mean something to my poems,
But not to the one i wrote for.

To love... To love is only a day,
Brief, vague, and fleeting,
With colors dancing in the sky that once was blue.
Our laughter was like bright stars in the distant horizon,
Today? They’re just raindrops that haven’t yet fallen.
At twilight, what we called love vanished overnight,
But my tears still shine with tenderness and regret.

If love really is just one day,
It would be the day the sun shone more dimly,
When our whispers were scattered to the calm winds,
And the tears, a chaotic relief for a mind pretending to be calm.
you know,
I loved you at dawn,
Lived you through the afternoon,
Even knowing it would end at dusk.*

This was so beautiful it struck my heart and made my eyes water

#

I loved you at dawn,
Lived you through the afternoon,
Even knowing it would end at dusk.

This resonated with me heavily, seems I always win the game of love

What a melancholic, deep vibe, yet filled with sincere and real emotions. The way you describe love as something fleeting, almost ephemeral, feels so raw and honest. The contrast between the promise of eternity and the fleeting reality of love is presented here in such a beautiful and gentle way. This image of fleeting love is clear from the start, as the first stanza is already loaded with emotion and feeling:

Love is a day,
Fleeting, not eternal.

Here, we already sense a tone of disillusionment from the lyrical voice, as if they had given themselves to a love they thought would be lasting but turned out to be momentary, at least from the other person's side. This portrays love as something fleeting, almost like a moment we hold briefly and then it slips away, which contrasts with the romantic idea of eternal love, as said in:

Promises are vague.

This first stanza undoubtedly delivers the biggest impact of the poem. Then we have this part:

Books are just stories, with happy endings or not.
Poems are feelings,
The truest among them,
For in poetry, you write what the heart thinks,
Not what the mind commands.

This shows how stories in books are different from real love. Whether the book has a happy ending or not, we end up accepting it, but poems, unlike books, reflect the real image of love because each verse contains every drop of the author's feelings. It captures what the heart feels but the mind doesn't allow to speak, as if poetry is the only place where true and pure feelings can be revealed, where emotional truth comes to light. And that’s what we see here—a poem that carries incredible and genuine emotional sincerity straight from the heart.
This leads to the lyrical voice’s inspiration for their poems, which, by the way, is my favorite part:

Tomorrow it may mean something to your poems,
But not to the one you wrote for.

#

The lyrical voice realizes that even though love inspires their art, it may not have the same impact or value for the one it was written for. Here, we see the image of unrequited love, viewed by the lyrical voice as something real that could be lasting, but for the loved one, it was only momentary—perhaps just entertainment or a pastime. This results in the lyrical voice’s poems, loaded with feelings, signifying everything they feel, but to the loved one, it means nothing because there are no feelings from their side. This idea, that love inspires something so profound in you, but the other person might not even notice or appreciate it the same way, hits deep. The ending is an incredible conclusion to the poem with:

To love is only a day,

reinforcing the idea of love as something fleeting, brief, but still full of beautiful moments. Like the colors in the sky that change, the laughter that turns into rain... all of this gives the sense that love is a dance of emotions that, at some point, ends (though sometimes it doesn’t, when it’s truly felt by both sides). The part about loving at dawn, living through the afternoon, and knowing it will end at dusk wow, what an impact! This progression of the day as a metaphor for the relationship’s cycle is incredible. It shows that the lyrical voice knows the moment is fleeting, but even knowing that love will end, they lived each moment intensely. And the tears that remain, even after love is gone, are almost like proof that, despite everything, it was worth it. I loved it this poem is amazing as always!!!!!SaberSaysPretty SaberSaysPretty

rico stop making me cry

#

the ongoing theme that follows throuought the whole poem that portrays love only lasts a day is perfectly executed. My favorite line is the outro "I loved you at Dawn, lived you through the afternoon, even knowing it would end at dusk." and the use of 500 days of summer photos was an ideal yet tragic wrap up😭🤍 amazing as usual, you're such a hopeless romantic. Your writing also keeps getting better everytime I read it, keep it up!

# mystic pilot *Love is a day, Fleeting, not eternal. Promises are vague, Books are just ...

It reminds me of that one line
I almost had you
Sometimes it feels like you are meant to love someone but not meant to have them....
Right person wrong time is such a cruel thing cattucry .
I like the emotions here
Almost made me cry. For some reasons it is relatable.
Trust me each and every line is so good that it's my favourite poem now....
Tomorrow it may mean something to your poems
But not to the one you wrote for , saddening yet speaking facts. For you it is not some mere words but your feelings but for the other one it's just words.
I loved you at dawn,
Lived you through the afternoon,
Even knowing it would end at dusk these lines have my heart, and I'm unable to explain why. paptcry
