Biography
Friendship is a strong bond existing between people who share a common interest or activity. This includes what Lewis calls companionship. It grows from commonality connection. Also the primary sort of love between fire-forged friends (storge needs time to arise, while philia can come in an instant). Note - there is no such thing as one-sided philia. If you admire that other person, but they don't know you exist, it's either unrequited eros or fangirling (fanboying). Also note that Lewis says we can survive without philia, but living is more than surviving. And - while you may yearn for philia (it has been known), if there's nothing you can bond with people over, you can't have a philia - based relationship (you can find storge or eros, though).
