In love, reversed
Delays and disappointments: a partner not showing up as promised, a relationship that stays stuck at the harbour. Expectations may have outrun reality. Check whether the ships you are waiting for were ever sent.
As feelings
Hopeful, patient expectation runs through this reading of feelings. They may see real promise in you and be willing to wait for things to grow, often looking ahead to shared plans or a future closer together. Distance, if there is any, tends to sharpen the interest rather than cool it.
As feelings, reversed
Disappointment is mixed into the feeling here. They may have hoped for more from the connection, or from themselves, and feel that things are moving too slowly to trust. Some of the warmth can still be present, but it is waiting on a sign that the effort will be returned.
As a person

As the other person in a reading

The other person, reversed
They are frustrated by delays or have overextended themselves, and the waiting is wearing on them. Expect impatience and perhaps some blame. Help them find a second route rather than a scapegoat.
