Don't explain your poem before the reader has a chance to read it, and if it still needs an explanation, then you haven't done a very good job.
Drop the one liners, that's just silly.
Also to ask if it was real is also silly. It is obvious it was real. Questioning in rhetoric has some validity, but it usually makes no sense in poetry.
Please continue to write...or not, but leave the love poetry alone. It nearly always comes across as trite and sophomoric, not just for you, but for everybody.

BTW Hearts are very bad poets

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
