Agape
Agape (Ancient Greek: ἀγάπη, agápē) is "love: the highest form of love, especially brotherly love, charity; the love of God for man and of man for God." The noun form first occurs in the Septuagint, but the verb form goes as far back as Homer, translated literally as affection, as in "greet with affection" and "show affection for the dead." Other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to philia (an affection that could denote friendship, brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection) and eros, an affection of a sexual nature.
Christianity developed Agape as the love of God or Christ for humankind. In the New Testament, it refers to the covenant love of God for humans, as well as the human reciprocal love for God; the term necessarily extends to the love of one's fellow man. Although the word did not have a specific religious connotation, it has been used by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including biblical authors and Christian authors.

Agape
by: The Legendary Pink DotsLike two souls touching. Thoughts a - breaking - Lovers sleeping. Waves
breaking against our minds. We play, play and laugh, play and laugh and
sing to the heavens. Eyes smiling to eyes, across the words of wisdom.
As you strayed, kicked heels in the spray. Til my heart broke out. I dive
into the waves to join us once again in the deep green playground they call
home. And others watch... but to us they melt into the trees, lured by
we... the sirens. They back away from the sea green, from the things they
fear. From the death. From the sirens...
