Agape ( /ˈæɡəpiː/ or /əˈɡɑːpeɪ/; Classical Greek: ἀγάπη, agápē; Modern Greek: αγάπη IPA: [aˈɣapi]) is one of the Koine Greek words translated into English as love, one which became particularly appropriated in Christian theology 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. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Although the word does not have specific religious connotation, the word has been used by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including Biblical authors and Christian authors. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato and 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. Thomas Jay Oord has defined agape as "an intentional response to promote well-being when responding to that which has generated ill-being."

Like 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...
