When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

if you saw my love
You'd love her too.
I love her.
She gives me everything
And tenderly.
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her.
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I have you near me.
Bright are the stars that shine,
Dark is the sky,
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her.

AND I LOVE HER
