Be Patient With My Love

Carly

Greyston Sterling was my first kiss, my first love, my first everything. Then ten years ago, he left and took my heart with him. He chose his career over me, a move I could have resented him for, but all I ever wanted was for him to follow his dreams…even if that didn’t include me. I’ve tried to move on but he set the standard and nobody compares. They say there’s nothing like your first love and maybe that’s true. When he rocks up in town with a smile on his face that makes my heart skip a beat, why do I wonder how it would be if we tried again? After so long apart, it can’t be that easy, surely?

Greyston

Ten years ago, I made a mistake in leaving and not asking the love of my life to go with me. That’s a move I regretted every single day. I had other relationships along the way, but nothing ever really compared to Carly. The first time I saw Carly in our old café after arriving home, all I wanted to do was kiss her, to tell her I love her. But after so long away, I was certain she would have moved on with her life, maybe even got married. Now I know that’s not the case, I want to win her back. How? I don’t know. All I can hope is that she’ll be patient with my love.
