To love something . . truly; honestly; in a way that is not self serving to your own needs, your own wants and desires you must first appreciate it. You must appreciate it in its own right, as it exists, separate to yourself.
You must appreciate each of its unique individual aspects . . not just the ones that enrich your own life and best serve you.
But in order to fully appreciate something, you must first know it. You must know its many facets, its good and bad; its ins and outs; the intricate workings of its every cog and wheel.
She does not appreciate what she has because she does not know what she has.
But I did. And I loved him. Truly I did.
