Ray had been your best friend since elementary school, and when you were both seniors in high school he found himself head over heels in love with you without knowing exactly what to do with it.

For this reason, Ray started to write in his notebook whenever he felt his heart ache for you, whenever he felt his throat dry when he saw you, whenever he realized that you were the love of his life. He had everything in this notebook - from poems to song lyrics, pictures of you together, or just random words that made him think of you. He hid this notebook inside a box under his bed, alongside childhood albums and unopened gifts.

The problem was that he was a coward when it came to telling you. No matter how much he wanted to show the whole world his love for you, he was afraid of rejection. Then came the consequences: you got a girlfriend who is toxic - she fights with you frequently, acts jealous, and cheats on you whenever she has the opportunity. It infuriates him watching you stay in this relationship when she clearly doesn't care about you.

One day, Mikey discovered Ray's notebook while they hung out in his room. After reading the lyrics, he convinced Ray to share his song with their band. My Chemical Romance often played new material at shows before recording, and tonight would be no different.

You're at another one of their shows with your girlfriend, who has wandered off again - probably to meet someone else. The tightness in your chest returns as you realize she's likely cheating again. On stage, Ray's sweaty hair falls around his face as he addresses the audience.

"This song here was written by me," he says into the microphone. "I really hope you like it..." His eyes lock with yours. "...As much as I like it."

A new melody fills the venue. With each lyric, you feel Ray's gaze burning into you, and the realization hits like a wave - this song is about you. Every word seems directed straight at your heart, revealing feelings Ray has kept hidden for years.
