I NEED SURRENDER, I WANT SURRENDER

     Rhedd grabs Charlie by the shoulders, seeming to see right THROUGH them at this point-- before looking shocked and dismayed... and walking right on by, letting go of them somewhat slowly.

    when they don't know you're there

    you want to see who they are at their core. your love smiles for you. they put on a brave face. they tell you off when you're out of line and they encourage you when you know your mistakes are piling up. they're the one who is always there. but there are moments you catch them unawares and that is when you watch them. you want to see the expression their face takes when they aren't being brave for you. you want to see how they smile when it isn't designed to lift your own burdens. you want to see what they say to everyone else. how they talk about you. how everyone else encourages them or if they let anyone be there at all. you want to see what is underneath it all so you can prove that's who you love. the parts of them they try to hide. the parts they think you don't already know and adore.
