What are some poems that describe the first meeting of two lovers?

There is nothing quite like first meeting someone you instinctively feel attracted to in an almost religious manner, in my experience. I have never had a girlfriend, however six years ago after a summer spent walking around a city alone each weekend and visiting suicide chatrooms in the evenings, one day at work a girl from a new company in my office building walked up to my desk and asked me a question about something in the office, and the moment I looked up at her and into her eyes I felt something deep, deep inside me kindling and my heart began pounding and I'm sure my eyes dilated in the few seconds we shared eye contact. It was absolutely transcendental, and I have not experienced that since my early teens and even then only in its most basic form. I would like to think the girl in question did feel something towards me too, because she started smiling and after that showed some more attention to me when it was not needed (e.g., she could have asked her other questions to other people) but I figured she was from a wealthy background and that realistically she was hoping to meet a similarly wealthy, mature, career-orientated young man which I was not. I still remember that moment as one of the happiest and most fulfilling of the past decade or so - it was as if someone I had known in a past life had suddenly found reason to cross paths with me again and it was like a sense of recognition. Maybe it was because we looked somewhat similar and that triggered something evolutionary or whatever, but it felt like so much more than that. It was as if in the space of a few seconds we exchanged information about one another in a very vulnerable way, almost as if doing otherwise was not an option. When I looked into her eyes I knew I could love her, and that we would get along, but it was not to be.
