Sounds like Emily Dickinson which is quite a compliment. She is my favorite. You have quite a good collection that would make for an excellent book of poetry.

Your poem touches my heart; a first love does overshadow the subsequent one or ones, which is really hard on them.

Thanks for the comment.
You're very kind.
This poem reminds of my having to deal with memories of my own first love. So sad. So difficult.

Very difficult to eject 'haunting and taunting' memories from our system. Most of us can relate to this quite easily.

the use of italics brings something special to this one. and an honest (good) poem even without them.

Hey Sam! Thanks for this one. I've been dealing with something like this, and it helps to know that someone else has been where I am. These things are so hard to explain to my very practical-minded companions.
