"Love in the Moonlight"
by Dillon York

No one knows I'm here.
Silvery strands of moonlight.
Shh. Meet me by the ancient oak.
What bird will dare but the great horned owl?
The fire within my heart burns only for you.
Do you love me too?

Okay, well, which one do you think it is?
Pessimistic - tending to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen.
It is not this one, for sure. 
Sentimental - of or prompted by feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia
It is not ironic.
Nostalgic - a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
