Eros' Escape

Eros' Escape

I told him, "If he's looking for love, I can only lend him Philia or Agápē.

Eros has made its majestic escape."

To discover happiness, security, satisfaction in ways that have been abandoned for a long time coming.

'Cause people claw for Eros all for the sake of an easy coming,

a seemingly flawless coming,

a make-believe coming,

many comings.

Are they fulfilled enough?

Are they not tired enough?

So many rounds, give them a minute to count.

"No, sir. No sir. Choose my Philia or Agápē.

You can have me no other way.

Not today."
