I know little about the science behind it, but maybe science doesn't have the answer in this case, and poetry or art is a better way of describing, how untruthful it can be.
One perspective is that the first love often happens during puberty. Teenagers have in a lot of ways a more flexible mind than adults, and therefore live more intensely. The sensation you get as a teenager from your love might be more than what you have as an adult. Scientists may differ with me, because i didn't run any tests. And there is a good chance i will agree with them and abandon my ideas on the issue.
Another perspective is that first times in love are more passionate, honest and fearless than the next times. There are no heartaches yet, or memories of earlier lovers. It isn't becoming too normal. But, of course there are lots of people who find their first true love after their 40s, or who start late (like me). Lots of people start with getting the blue every time and than choose for second best or stay single.
