Being in love for the first time is a whole new feeling. Everything is exciting, everything is new, and we do not know what to expect. We have to discover love and how to behave when in company of someone of the other sex. At first we are nervous, shy and insecure, but once we have made an avowal of our love and our beloved returns the feeling, life is suddenly pure bliss. We see everything through rose-tinted spectacles, and the only important thing is to spend as much time as possible with our beloved.

First love makes us experience a boost of creativity that is reflected in writing love letters and love poems. In a love poem we can express our feelings in the most romantic way possible and it always makes an impression on your beloved. It is not even important that we write poems about love ourselves, we can also take a love sonnet by Shakespeare that we see fit for the person we love. Such poems and sonnets can also be used as a so-called Wandtattoo. What about choosing an expressive love poem, love saying, love sonnet or love quote and writing it by means of a Wandtattoo on the wall of your room? You have the possibility to work with different effects and colors – just be creative and express your feelings!

If we think back at the time when we were first in love, the expression that describes it best would be Goethe’s “now shouting in triumph, now sunk in despair”. Even if we are not teenagers anymore we are driven by hormones and we are up one day and down the next. But it is exactly this feeling that fires our imagination and results in some of the best love poetry, love songs and love films.

It doesn’t matter if our first experiences with love were positive or negative, we still like to look back and imagine what could have been. Our first love influences how we deal with love and relationships later in life, which makes first love one of the most important experiences that a person can make. Since no two experiences with first love are the same, we are curious how other people experience this feeling. This is another reason why people love reading poems about love, listening to love songs or watching love films: because we want to know how other people deal with loving someone for the first time.

The next time you’re feeling a little melancholic and don’t know what to do with yourself, try browsing a love poem database or collections of love poems from famous love poets. You could reminisce about the past and think back to the time when you were first in love. Remember all the good times and the butterflies and you will feel better instantly.
