Phileo

Location

Contrary to popular belief, the word

Phileo

Means a lot more than just brotherly or sisterly love.

Oh, its meaning is far deeper

And far more complex than just love.

 

The word love, in my opinion,

Has lost a lot of its meaning and sincerity.

Love isn’t enough to convey how I really feel anymore.

 

Phileo is a statement that recognizes that

I understand your soul: all it has been and all it will be

Because I know it will be something great.

 

Phileo means I may not always agree with

Your choices or your reasoning

But I will support you regardless.

 

Phileo means that nothing

physical, emotional, or spiritual

Will stop me from loving you.

 

Phileo means more than I love you;

Phileo means I love you

Unconditionally.
