Help me out with this melody!

[Sylv3ster]

I'm working on a music commission and I've already got my first progression finished, but I need a little bit more help on the melody.I'm trying to find a new progression for the "verse" of the song but I just can't get it right. Do any of you have ideas on what progression I should do with?I'm using the D-major scale for the song.https://clyp.it/lu0bz2mo?token=4b8be2d80be2da845d8fb999f2b6eafa

Idea:
repeat original progression 3 times, then on the fourth time, instead of doing the same repeat, add a long held IV-V7 then resolve to I (G major- A dominant seven- back to D major)

Or switch to a different progression starting on a different chord. (B minor? the relative minor would be an obvious choice. Also G major)

Your biggest problem is you change chords very quickly but don't have very many of them, which means the whole progression is very short and repeats too many times in a short amount of time. Either add more chords or make the chords you have longer.
