First Love Poems - Capturing The Magic Of Falling In Love For The First Time

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.

23 First Love Poems - Capturing The Magic Of Falling In Love For The First Time

  1. 1. Life With You

    • By Greg Thung
    • Published by Family Friend Poems July 2015 with permission of the Author.

    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.

    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,
    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

  2. 2. Only Us

    This is a story of the first time in my life someone had ever made me feel completely safe. It is an amazing feeling to learn that you are lovable to another.

    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,

    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.

  4. 3. 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.

    in Confused about Love Poems

    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.

  5. 4. Time

    • By Sandra Hearth
    • Published by Family Friend Poems February 12, 2022 with permission of the Author.

    Too many rush into the wrong choices...we need to slow down, look and breathe before we jump.

    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.
    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.

  7. 5. Take My Hand

    • By Jeffrey Trejo
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this poem with nothing but the feelings I had at that moment. In that moment I had those thoughts in mind about my first love. Like many, we have all had our moment in which we feel like this. All you can think about is that special someone.

    in Romantic Poems

    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.
    Now take my hand and forget about the world.
    I will love you like you have never been loved before.

  8. 6. Many Laughs

    • By Kelsey Keogh
    • Published by Family Friend Poems November 2017 with permission of the Author.

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

    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.
    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.

  9. 7. When I First Saw You

    • By Efi
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2007 with permission of the Author.

    In this poem I am describing my feelings when I first met the boy who was my first love. He has read this poem but he doesn't know that it's written for him.

    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.
    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

  10. 8. 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.

    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

  11. 9. Do You Love Me?

    • By Nikki
    • Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.

    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 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?

    "They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone."
    - The Notebook -

    in Goodbye Love Poems

    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

  13. 11. Fly Away Butterflies

    • By Shayna
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013 with permission of the Author.

    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

    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

  14. 12. 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,
    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.

    And talked
    About nothing
    I looked
    Into
    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

  18. 16. Man In My Dreams

    • By Christine Madas
    • Published by Family Friend Poems February 2009 with permission of the Author.

    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

    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.

    This feeling is euphorical.

    in Love Poems by Teens

    It's strange.
    I've never felt like this before.
    It's as though my heart doesn't belong to me.
    It's trying to get out,
    because it belongs to you.
    I feel like, I'm not scared of anything anymore-I've got you.
    When I touch you I'm electrified.
    I kiss you, it's like there's nothing else in the world.
    You make me feel special.
    Breathless, I'm always breathless, but it feels amazing.
    I don't care what people say, I don't care about anything but you.
    I want to scream our love to the world.
    I give you my love.

  21. 19. My Beautiful Flower

    • By Allen
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009 with permission of the Author.

    My name is Allen Steble and I enjoy writing poetry in my spare time. I think poetry is a great art that anyone can be proficient in. I am 21 years old and still fairly new at writing but would like to expand my skills and knowledge through this wonderful medium.

    in Sweet Love Poems

    you are my flower
    you are my sweet soft petal
    hand in hand
    ...in my hand
    holding this precious gift
    the blossom of your beauty
    you are my beautiful flower

    you are my flower
    you are my sweet soft petal
    heart in heart
    just one heart
    beating to your sweet aroma
    the aroma of your splendor
    you are my beautiful flower

    you are my flower
    you are my first blossom
    blossoming love
    you are my love
    you are my first and true
    like sunset ocean blue
    you are my beautiful flower
    I am glad I picked you

  22. 20. What Love Is Like

    • By Yasmeen
    • Published by Family Friend Poems September 2016 with permission of the Author.

    This poem is about what love is like. It is also about how love grows with time.

    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.

    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.
