Love is a responsibility
because you make a commitment.
And that's what love is.
Love is that; I'm here for you.
Or as our friend, Toni Morrison said,
love is a bench and a bench is something
that no matter what, when you're tired,
when you're sad, you can sit.
It's gonna be right there and it's
got your back.
And that's what love is: love's got
your back.
