First Love Poems

Published: January 6, 2023

There's nothing like the first love. You've never had these feelings before and you imagine that no one else has ever felt this way about anybody. Your boyfriend or girlfriend are the greatest thing ever and you want to be with them all the time. Your senses become alive as you fall in love for the first time. You're not even thinking of the possibility that you may break up because that has never happened to you before. First love is filled with the optimism that you will be together forever.

Life With You
- By Greg Thung

A few words of gratitude and love for my dearest Jen. From the first time we chatted, I knew there was something special. And as time went by, it only got better. Being with her has turned me around, and for the first time in years, I look forward to the next day. Thank you for everything you've done. You'll never know how much you've changed my life, Jen.

Poem To My Sweetheart Who Has Changed My Life

in Sweet Love Poems

You taught me how beautiful life is,
Everything from your words, your touch, your kiss.

You gave me hope, you gave me love,

You taught me how beautiful life is,
Everything from your words, your touch, your kiss.

You gave me hope, you gave me love,
And I know you were sent from heaven above.

The way you showed me the person I could be,
It's something you, and only you, would see.

You were always different and unique,
But I never guessed it was me you would seek.

How someone like me would end up with someone like you,
I honestly don't believe it; it cannot be true.

But it is, and I know every day
That I have YOU, and it's needless to say

You've made my life beautiful and taught me how to live.
To show you how much I'm grateful, anything I'd give.

So thank you for coming into my life.
In doing so you've taken away the sorrow and strife.

You put a smile on my face and a skip to my stride
And I know you'll always be there by my side. <3

Poem About First Time Love

in Short Love Poems

Laid my head upon your chest
Your arms encircled me,
It was, My Love, as if we were
What God meant us to be,

Laid my head upon your chest
Your arms encircled me,
It was, My Love, as if we were
What God meant us to be,

I closed my eyes and heard your heart
Your soft smile in my hair,
I'd never felt so whole and safe
Our hearts beating as a pair,

You found my eyes and told me of
A love for me undying,
I kissed your face and knew right then
It was in Heaven we were lying.

Is Love Real?
- By Hope Broderson
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2016 with permission of the Author.
My one true love broke my heart. When he told me he cheated, my heart was crushed.

Does True Love Exist?

in Confused about Love Poems

What does the word love
Really mean?
Is it only a wishful
Dream?

What does the word love
Really mean?
Is it only a wishful
Dream?

Is love two people sharing
Their lives
Together, forever as husband
And wife?

Is love a promise we
Make,
A promise we should
Never break?

A promise to only be
With each other,
A promise there will
Be no other?

Is love a feeling
Or thought?
Or is it just something
We all want?

Is love a choice
We make?
Or is it a chance
We take?

Is love good or is
Love bad?
Does love make you
Happy or sad?

Is love a simple touch that
Gives you chills?
Or a beating heart that
Won't be still?

Could love be a gentle kiss so
Passionately on the lips?

Does love hurt, does
Love cry?
Is it love when your
Tears won't dry?

Can we love once? Can we
Love twice?
Or does true love happen
Only once in life?

Is love real?
Can love forgive?
Can love heal?

I know love is real.
Because of pain,
I know how true love feels.

When nothing hurts worse
Than it,
You, too, will know love exists.

Don't Rush Love

in Relationship Poems

Love is an emotion we feel too quick.
Time is what we need, this is the trick.

Love will find you when you are ready.

Love is an emotion we feel too quick.
Time is what we need, this is the trick.

Love will find you when you are ready.
Just enjoy life, take it nice and steady.

The beauty of life is there to be taken.
And when the time is right, your heart will awaken.

Love is not a race, nor a goal;
It's an emotion that touches your soul.

It will fill your life and make it complete.
Be patient and calm, and love you will meet.

Our Love Story Just Began Poem

Take my hand and forget about the world.

Take my hand and forget about the world.
I will love you like you have never been loved before.
Look into my eyes and dream about us both.
Together we will conquer and reach up to the skies.
No frowns, no tears, just smiles and laughter.
We are just young lovers, but if God lets us,
we will get married after.
Let me shower you with compliments,
your eyes sparkle like the stars
and your smile shines bright as the sun.
We are just in our first chapter,
but our love story has just begun.

Poem About Finding A First Love

in Short Love Poems

Vulnerable before I found you
Lost in the lonely streets of my heart
I loved you since I first saw you
and happiness reborn from my pointless past.

Vulnerable before I found you
Lost in the lonely streets of my heart
I loved you since I first saw you
and happiness reborn from my pointless past.
Angels were laughing,
an endless dream of red roses.
You looked at me with your fragile sight
I looked at you with my soul
and then our story began
and is still going on.
A spontaneous dark moment
and then a spark which led me to you

Forgiven
- By Tiffany Baker
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013 with permission of the Author.
The story behind this poem is about my ex-boyfriend. We spent three and a half years together, and a year of our relationship he was in Iraq. I did love him more than what I thought possible, but while he was gone we grew apart, although we never wanted to. I used to blame him for my broken heart, but when I met my husband, I realized that, although we had grown apart, it wasn't all his fault. I still love my ex, but I realize now that I am no longer IN LOVE with him.

in Moving On Poems

You were like a shining light
Into the darkness of my life
I was taken back by the way you smiled
I knew from the start you'd always have my heart.

You were like a shining light
Into the darkness of my life
I was taken back by the way you smiled
I knew from the start you'd always have my heart.

We spent every day like it was the last
You made me see things differently, with meaning
When I was scared you were there for me
Wiping away my tears

You held my fragile heart in your hands
For what seemed like forever
We grew apart when you left
Never an intention

When you returned home
I saw that my sun had died
It was left somewhere out in the sand
In that barren land

I forgive you for breaking my heart
For crumbling it into dust
For the last time we had somehow lost our trust
My sun was gone forever, I see that now

I forgive you for everything, my love
Although I shouldn't
I forgive you for things
I thought I couldn't

Thank you for showing me
Even for a short while
That a single smile
Can change your life

Many Laughs

I actually wrote this about my boyfriend. I still haven't gotten the courage to show him.

Remembering When We First Met

in Love Poems by Teens

Many laughs we've had,
and all of which were great.
It all started weeks ago,
us brought together by fate.

Many laughs we've had,
and all of which were great.
It all started weeks ago,
us brought together by fate.
The day that I first met you,
my heart did skip a beat.
I had to steady myself
because you swept me off my feet.
I saw your dazzling smile,
and heat rushed to my face.
I haven't blushed that much
since I ran the 5k race.
I know I love you so
and want to see you more,
and at the slightest thought of losing you,
my heart drops to the floor,
so stay with me, my darling.
Hold me tight and close.
Forever is a long time,
but it is you I want the most.

Do You Love Me?
- By Nikki

A few years ago I started writing the first few lines, then a year later I found a really good friend who has been and is my BEST friend. I started to realize that I had a crush on him but didn't want to ruin our friendship.

in Falling in Love Poems

It's no joke,
what I say to you.
Every word that falls from lips
is absolutely true.

It's no joke,
what I say to you.
Every word that falls from lips
is absolutely true.

It's no lie,
it's no fib.
It's how I feel
deep within.

Inside my heart
burns a never-ending flame.
If I tell you that I love you,
will our friendship stay the same?

I wonder this,
all the time.
If I were yours,
and you were mine.

Is this true,
is this a dream?
Is this at all what it seems?

Do you love me?
'Cause I love you.
Are you lying,
or telling the truth?

Is this how you really feel?
Is this really real?
Am I dreaming?
Or should I believe it?

A Love That Didn't Last

in Goodbye Love Poems

You passed my life
Soft, gentle, and unpredictable
Like a floating cloud

You passed my life
Soft, gentle, and unpredictable
Like a floating cloud

You had my heart
Fast, tight, and passionate
Like we were meant to be together

You said goodbye
Silent, cold, and cruel
Like summer never comes back

You walked away
Dark, painful, and lonely
Like the world covered with black

Fly Away Butterflies

When I found my first love, I was scared of things going wrong. This poem/song represents the release of my nervousness and fear.

in Love Poems by Teens

Butterflies telling me I'm not ready
My mind is telling me slow and steady
But I just want to love you
I just want to hold you

Butterflies telling me I'm not ready
My mind is telling me slow and steady
But I just want to love you
I just want to hold you

So fly away butterflies
Let me fall into his eyes
Let him lift me up into the night
And he'll love me for all of time

All my friends say, "Yeah, you're ready"
He pulls me in slow and steady
And I want him to never let go
I promise him I'll never let go

So fly away butterflies
Let me fall into his eyes
Let him lift me up into the night
And we'll be together for all of time

And now I know that yes, I'm ready
So let's just take it slow and steady
And I'll give you my heart
'Cause I know you'll never break my heart

So fly away butterflies
While I fall into his eyes
And when he lifts me up into the night
He's all I need for all of time

Do You Remember Our Love?
- By Karina Del Campo
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2009 with permission of the Author.
This is just how I feel about my first love.

in Love Poems by Teens

Between our little fights and our giggles
Do you remember that you were the first lips I touched?
The first hand I held,
The first one I cared for,

Between our little fights and our giggles
Do you remember that you were the first lips I touched?
The first hand I held,
The first one I cared for,
The only one I ever loved.
Do you remember you made me smile when I first saw you?
The first time I did I knew there was something there.
A spark between us that I felt only when I was with you.
Do you remember that you were the first to put your arms around my waist?
The first to lift me in the air.
You were my Romeo, I was your Juliet
Do you remember we weren't allowed to see each other?
But still we made it happen.
We weren't allowed to talk, but still, we managed.
Do you remember when we happened you held me so tight?
We didn't want to let go
Do you remember when I would look at you and just smile?
You gave thanks to God everyday since he put me in your life.
Do you remember when it was over?
We still cared for each other.
You told me you wished the best for me.
Do you remember that you were the first one I ever cried for?
Besides my daddy when he left me.
Do you remember we had something that nobody had?
Something people looked for, but didn't find.
You were the best I ever had.
You were my first love.
If I had three wishes the first one would be,
To see that beautiful smile I love to see.
The second would be to be in your arms just one more time.
The third would be to have you back in my life,
To have you forever baby.
'Till this day you're still in my heart. And I don't regret a thing.

Your eyes
What happened next,
I'm not
Too sure
But it undeniably took me
By surprise.
Either the sun
Became golden liquid
And gently caressed
My lips,
Or you
Took me
In your arms
And gave me
My
First Kiss

Man In My Dreams
- By Christine Madas

I'm a simple girl who's always dreaming of a man that I really wanted. Then it did come true. We met and became lovers.

in Relationship Poems

Every time I go to bed and lay
I just never forget to kneel down and pray
thanking thee for how good he had been
and for all the blessings we had seen

Every time I go to bed and lay
I just never forget to kneel down and pray
thanking thee for how good he had been
and for all the blessings we had seen

then I had slept and had a dream
about a man I've never seen
he's smiling while holding my hand
and yes we're living in a far away land

after that night I was confused
of how my dream for me is used
is he real, maybe not
I just don't know what he's got

then the day came I was shocked
I saw the man I had dreamt and I laughed
I thought I was dreaming but I guess not
'cause when I looked at him he smiled a lot

he came near and they all mocked
when he asked my name and held my hand
a strange feeling passed through my veins
and I know he'll never leave me in vain

yes, I know it's hard to believe
of how my dream came true it did
whatever it may be I know in my heart
that he's the man I'm dreaming about.

I want to scream our love to the world.

Poem About Love's Unpredictable And Endless Nature

in Creative Poems

Love is like the howling wind that blows.
It's never just a breeze and never easy.
Unpredictable and ever changing,
Captivating and endless.

Love is like the howling wind that blows.
It's never just a breeze and never easy.
Unpredictable and ever changing,
Captivating and endless.

To contain it means to struggle with self,
And to feel the effects fully, taking it head on:
Harsh and fast, sometimes gentle and calming.
Love makes you selfless instead of selfish.

With overflowing joy, it is hard to control.
Yet love blows in and out of life so quickly.
In a blink of an eye the storm has passed,
And we are left dazed and confused.

Searching helplessly through the debris,
Unable to find what you're looking for,
So alone you'll be waiting for the next breeze.
Welcome the love and open your heart wide.
