A good write on situations that happens to a lot of us.
Residual feelings flicker as a candle in the void of space.
Take care young lady, just smile and walk on..

An enjoyable read and I thought the title really fits your "little tale."
I've played a little with the lination of some verses, see if you like any or discard it altogether dear.

our first contact
bled with the intenseness
of a crash,

admiration was thrown
and seeds of contempt grew

Days went by[,]
side looks stared
into the target,
but disdain and ire
waned to nothing
but sparks of ego

the second introduction,
it bound by the rules
of Utopian society,
a new conversation
of light and song
of love gone wrong
[s]Started.

But [I'd drop this"but"]
communication ceased,
memory faded
touch was lost,
but
again, today
he said "Hello"
and my heart
now thumps.[I'd say "now is thumping, or "my heart thumps"]

Please know I really loved this as it tells much about your little heart.
