EPHEMERAL

breif

fleeting

anything short-lived, as an insect that lives only for a day

lasting a very short time

SYN - passing, transient

"He for the first time in his life was noticing the ephemeral nature of his life her on earth."

"Heraclitus was the first to comment, 2,500 years ago on how all things - in the state they are currently in - are ephemeral, but yet still people are shocked, hurt, and surprised when things change."

"He couldn't deal with how ephemeral all of their encounters had been recently - it was as if she didn't want anything to do with him anymore."
