What is Respect

Respect is
When you yell I listen.
Even though you shouldn’t be yelling, I don’t yell at you.
Respect is
When you are embarrassed around others, I comfort you and appease the crowd,
Taking all the negative attention away from you.
Respect is  
When you are wrong, I keep communicating until we both can be understood.
Respect is  
When I am wrong, I give you the floor, Never running out the door.
Respect is  
When I cry, You always want to know why?
You comfort me and never tell a lie.
Respect is
When we disagree, We compromise and settle things amicably.
Respect is
When I am angry, you give me space and surprise me with delightful things you say.
Respect is
When you are angry, I steer clear, I don’t tolerate negativity that is unclear.
Respect is
When we are both unified and treat each other as we both deserve.
It is earned over different lengths of time, categorized by the experiences we have with others.
