It Also Needs a Title


When (something something ...) in my beating heart, 
(Insert a line about a summer's day) 
(Allude to love but only make it part 
Of something else that you intend to say.) 
Your (something else) is like a (something else...) 
(Explain yourself in sweet romantic words) 
(Say something like you won't forgive yourself 
If love like this should ever go unheard.) 
You'll always be (a bunch of other lines...) 
Together (put a list of things you'll do...) 
(A little bit of rhythm and some rhymes 
Will guarantee their love belongs to you.) 
(Then as you finish write something clever) 
Until we (something finally...) ever.
