Philia.

          Camerado, I give you my hand!
          I give you my love more precious than money,
          I give you myself before preaching or law;
          Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
          Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?

     — Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road

Yes we shall, yet who can die for us anymore? Let me be able to die for you: gladly I give you myself, dear Friend.
