If you want to know how much someone loves you, you should see how patient they are with you.
Patience in human love can translate into: "I love you for who you are, and even more for the person you have the potential to be, and for this reason I want to stay by your side and help you reach the best version of yourself."
What's beautiful about patient love is that it only gets stronger as time goes on. It's a beautiful correlation. It's like incense, the more it burns, the more fragrant it becomes.
Patient love means loving the seed even before it becomes the tree. It is only right that the patient gardener is given the fruits of the tree, they deserve the very best of it. They constantly watered and took care of it even when the seed was out of sight in the ground.
Perhaps even the seed doubted itself, but the patient gardener assured it by taking care of it, even when it was surrounded by dirt and felt all alone.
