The thing to keep in mind with Plato's ideals is he's taking about actual divine ideals that you're attempting to connect yourself to in order to reach the truth of reality. So Plato's pure Eros isn't really dependent on the physical nature of something and is a love that supposedly connects you to the divine realm.
