About This Quote

"First love," said Ida with a sigh. "That's the one that kills you." is a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The poem begins with a quote from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet : "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo? The quote is then continued, "To be, or not to be, that is the question".

The author then proceeds to talk about her first love, saying that it will kill her. She says she has been in love with this man for a year and a half and he does not love her back. She concludes that she will die without him and be buried in his grave because she will have no one else to love her.

After this she says "I have lived all my life waiting for this hour".
