I love the radar line! Shakespeare would have smiled at that. You have the right idea! In some places, the iambic pentameter is a bit forced. Take a look:

you WILL neVER know HOW i LOVE you SO

You're dead-on on that last part of that line, but look at the word "never"--we usually pronounce it with the opposite stress: NEver. That's so tough to make work, isn't it? Even Shakespeare had to take liberties with normal pronounciations of words, so you are in good company!
