Hello there! I wanted to give a quick review on this poem of yours. ^^ This review might not be the longest as this poem isn't the longest :p
As this is shorter, certain things play better. I think straight-forwardness can work alright with fewer lines, so this hits a sweet spot that isn't too dragging on without using much imagery/figurative language, while still being long enough to have some kind of story/meaning. I like the repetition used here, mostly as I view it as an attempt to reflect/allow for both parties in this apparent relationship to speak their mind, in using "wait for you" in four straight lines.
I think the unevenness of the lines is apparent, especially because there are ten lines in total. I would recommend to either combine a couple of these lines, such as "My dearest love, / Never leave me." or to add on a bit to these lines, as I think the longer/later lines work nicely in their own space. I would actually try to think about what kind of image you're imagining here, whether it's two people talking face-to-face, on the phone, in text messages, and then envision that as a poem, to make more unique lines.
I like the message a lot here, in that both people want to communicate and actually talk/listen to each other. I think this works in its current form, but I do think this could be tweaked with a little spin-of-things, or even with its formatting to emphasize the "wait for you" in a different way past using ellipses. I hope that helped! Nicely done.
