Installment #36 – Finding to correct way to say “I love You, Mistress” by slaveboy jaime

Recently, i have felt a greater commitment and devotion to my Mistress, Mistress Ayn, yet words have failed me in my effort to clearly express what it is that i truly feel.  In my quest for understanding i turned to the Ancient Greeks – odd? perhaps! – to find clarity.

The Greeks have seven different words for love, each expressing a different sentiment.  Most commonly, people say “I love you” and mean “eros.”  Eros speaks of a romantic love, a feeling of passion.  This may be common among partners in a loving relationship, such as a wife and husband, or girlfriend and boyfriend.  But that misses the mark for my feelings as a submissive and my Mistress Ayn.

There is “phila” or a love between friends.  i feel that toward other Mistresses and Goddesses i have met and served at the FemDom Mansion or Atlanta Dungeon.  i treasure these relationships and love serving Them.  Yet, again not the special type of love i have for my Mistress Ayn.

“Storge” comes closer since it expresses a love that in unconditional and relational.  i am unconditionally committed to my Owner, Mistress Ayn, and will do whatever She orders me.  But, still not quite on point for my feeling of “love” toward Mistress Ayn.

Then i found it – “agape.”  Agape is a love that is typically reserved for a universal love, the love one has for a God (or in this case, a Goddess).  It is a love between unequals.  Yes, that is it – “Agape” – the proper expression of my love for my Mistress.  Agape is the deep felt expression of my devotion, a willingness to completely surrender to Her, to be or do whatever She wants or needs from me – slave, sissy, bitch, servant, and so many more roles.  Agape is how i understand Her role in my life, as my Mistress, Owner, Keyholder, Teacher and so many more.

Agape – i love You, Mistress Ayn. – slaveboy
