Hi Ana, welcome to our forum and thanks for your question. Both sentences can be correct depending on what you want to say.

The first one is the most likely choice because it best resembles a line from a poem or song. Did you come up with the sentence yourself or did you find it somewhere?

Thank you so much, I’ve been checking out this site for awhile now! I’m writing a poem in English, and the part where the writer weep is not a choice, it’s more of a result because the person the writer is confessing to doesn’t like them back. Should I use the second instead?

I’m trying to improve my English and this site and your answers are helping me a lot! Thank you!

Well, since it’s a poem you might want to play around with a number options choosing the one that best fits the rhythm and rhyme:

The day I tell her about how I feel is the day I’ll weep.
The day I tell her about how I feel will be the day I weep.

Both will work and make sense.
