The Echoes of Respect
Written by Enayet Chowdhury
“Zeszes, can you feel the calm up here? It’s like the mountains are wrapping us in a blanket of peace.”
“Yes, Mary, it’s so quiet and still. It makes me think about the strength and stability that we have, like these mountains standing tall through everything.”
“I love that about us, Zeszes. How we can weather any storm, just by standing side by side. But I think what makes us strong is the respect we have for each other.”
“I agree, Mary. Respect is like the foundation of a mountain—it’s what keeps everything in place, even when the winds are strong and the skies are dark.”
“And it’s not just about being polite or kind. It’s about truly valuing each other, listening, and understanding where we’re coming from.”
“Absolutely, Mary. It’s about seeing each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and appreciating them all. It’s about honoring who you are, not trying to change you.”
“That’s exactly it, Zeszes. It’s knowing that we’re different and embracing those differences. It’s trusting that you always have my best interests at heart, just as I have yours.”
“And I do, Mary. I respect every part of you—the way you think, the way you love, the way you bring light into every room. You make me want to be a better man.”
“And I respect you, Zeszes. For your strength, your kindness, your patience. You’re always there for me, always understanding, even when I don’t understand myself.”
“Thank you, Mary. That means more to me than words can say. I want to make sure you always feel respected, always feel valued. You deserve nothing less.”
“And so do you, Zeszes. I want you to know that I see you, truly see you. I respect your dreams, your fears, your passions. You are everything I could ever hope for.”
“Let’s promise to always show respect, Mary. To listen without interrupting, to speak without judging, to love without conditions.”
“I promise, Zeszes. To honor your feelings, your thoughts, your needs. To always stand by your side with love and respect.”
“And I promise to do the same, Mary. To cherish every moment with you, to uplift you, to ensure you always feel safe and loved in my presence.”
“Together, we can build a love as strong and unshakeable as these mountains. A love that stands tall through every challenge, grounded in respect.”
“Yes, Mary. A love that echoes through the valleys, that sings through the trees, that whispers through the winds. A love that’s as endless as these peaks.”
“Here’s to us, Zeszes. To a life of respect, of love, of unwavering support. To always choosing each other, every day.”
“Here’s to us, Mary. Forever and always, with respect as our guide and love as our foundation.”
