Now, this declaration of love may seem no more profound than before due to the fact that he more or less said the same thing albeit less poetically about Rosaline earlier on. However, where Romeo really demonstrates to the audience that something new has been awoken inside of him is what he does next.
Trying not to blow his cover as a Montague, he sneaks up to Juliet during the party and touches her hand, which he refers to a holy shrine made dirty by his rude hand. Their subsequent interaction pours out of them in 14 lines of perfect iambic pentameter ending in a rhyming couplet, making it a sonnet.
This interaction ends with the first kiss of the "star-crossed lovers" and seals their fate. Romeo knows in this moment that he did not truly live until now and that their is no going back. Unlike with Rosaline, he makes good on these claims time and time again throughout the story, putting his life in very real danger in order to be with her, including the famous "Balcony Scene" of act 2.

The poetry Shakespeare writes for Rosaline is much weaker than that for Juliet. Romeo has loved Roseline, and she has broken up with him.
Romeo is depressed at the beginning of the play because his love for Rosaline is not returned. Rosaline has sworn off all men. Of course, as you read, you realize that this is not real love because the moment he sees Juliet he forgets all about Rosaline.
