I can understand the underlying content, but I'm not seeing a clear image of what you're trying to say. What I think you need to do is tell us how, theres quite a few places you might want to add some metaphors or similes. Most lines leaves themselves open to one. The shortened lines is a foe of the poem and some detail could be it's friend (see what I did there?) - If you're unsure, just think about what you can compare something to to make it clearer. "Love is typically feared" - what else is feared? If someone doesn't fear love as you do, how could you compare it to something so they understand how you feel?
Don't you know
Love is weird
Typically feared
Take my call
IM giving you my all
You are the one
The one for me
Can't you see
What we have
Is so much fun
There's never enough
Enough of the sun
Times always on the run
Its always tough
Never understood why
Why its so rough
Whenever we say goodbye
What I'd recommend doing is rewrite it, either handwritten or on the computer. Rather than editing the original, have it open next to you, and write it again using what people will have recommended by then, and as I say to everyone, try reading it out loud!
Will be looking forward to a revision.
