This responsibility does not involve my doing (2) for you what you are capable (3) of doing for yourself; nor does it mean that I run (4) your life for you. It does imply acknowledging (5) that what I am and what I do affects you, (6) so that I am directly involved in your happiness and your misery. A lover does (7) have the capacity to hurt or neglect the loved one, and (8) in this sense I see that love involves an acceptance of some (9) responsibility for the impact my way of being has (10) on you.
Love means (11) making a commitment to the person I love. This commitment does not involve giving (12) up our total selves to each other; nor does it imply that (13) the / our relationship is necessarily permanent.
