Analysis of Always In My Heart



You are always on my mind
like a catchy jingle.
You are always in my heart
like a lovely tingle.

You are always on my mind
like an implicit claim.
You are always in my heart
like an eternal flame.

You are always on my mind
like a droll carnival.
You are always in my heart
like a love festival.

You are always on my mind
like a delicate scar.
You are always in my heart
like a binary star.

You are always on my mind
like a mellow refrain.
You are always in my heart
like an affable rain.

You are always on my mind
like an embedded arc.
You are always in my heart
like a frolicsome lark.
