Quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker realizes they are only a temporary presence in someone's life, bringing warmth and joy like the summer season. However, their significance is limited and they are not capable of providing the consistency and depth of connection found in all four seasons. It conveys a sense of acceptance and awareness of their impermanence in the other person's heart, emphasizing the fleeting nature of their relationship.
