Lovely sentiments!

Iambic tetrameter is missing:

Why am I still addicted to you
WHY am/ I STILL/ ad-DICT/-ed to YOU = trochee, spondee, iamb, anapest

When I see you I am no longer blue
when I/ see YOU/ i AM/ no LONG/-er BLUE/ = iambic pentameter with an extra foot

Instead, I am filled with the love flu
in-STEAD/ I am FILLED/ with the LOVE/ FLU = iamb, anapest, anapest with an extra syllable

And wonder if you too
and WON/-der if YOU/ TOO = iamb, anapest + TOO for a total of six syllables

Feel the same way I do
FEEL the/ SAME way/ I do/ = trochaic trimeter

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
