Meter help for my sonnet?

I had to write a sonnet for my English class, and it has to be in iambic pentameter. I keep rereading it and I just can't tell anymore if it's write. Can you just tell me if you see any mistakes in the meter?

The plan was to be easily achieved.
Is love not meant to persevere? Weren't we
to be chevrefoil and hazel weaved
forever together just you and me?
Of all the reasons, say it was not one
due to a change in heart. Don't tell me you
did voluntarily forget. It's done.
Why, is that really what you want to do?
I do hope I mistook that absence of
yours. Were the sails to be black not white? Keep
on fooling me, I thought you'd come for love.
Alas I'm left confused. I lay and weep
for I believed in you. Tis now too late
And for you, for more time I will not wait.

P.s. chevrefoil is pronounced sheh-vruh-fuh-yeh

Thanks!
