Phileros: Erase the Fidelity

"Nunc scio quit sit amor."
—Virgil

I was wrong to think that
Love is limited.

Marriage…
Commitment…
Fidelity.

The Greeks had it straight
When they used multiple
Words to express love.

Agape…
Christian love.
Bring out the Bible.

Philia…
Love between friends.
Ahh…Crystal and Heather.

Storge…
Familiar love.
Hugs for mom and dad.

Eros…
Attracted by lust.
Hot and heavy sex.

Don’t mix Eros
And Storge,
Like Oedipus did.

You can’t mix Agape
With Eros.
Without confessions.

Philia and Eros together,
Can be a quite interesting
Adventure.

I can love you;
But, not be bound to you.

And vice versa.

I can make love to you;
But, not only you.

And vice versa.

It’s pretty fun.
Being loved this way.

Phileros…

I won’t be stuck
In a marriage this way.

I won’t be in court
Divorcing this way.

I can Storage you.
I can Agape you.

My dear
Savior of love…

My one...
My only...

Phileros.
