You can't be born with a sense of melody; what happens is some people are so immersed in music from a young age that it seems effortless. Yes, music, whether you're writing it or listening to it, involves using the same portion of the brain that's involved in spatial logic - so people who are genetically gifted for this area will have an advantage, but that doesn't mean they've an innate ability to write songs.
Anyways, if you really want to write music, take some courses at a Conservatory. Even if you don't take music theory courses, a bit of formal training wouldn't hurt, eh?
