A Clandestine 18th Century Romance
A CLANDESTINE 18th CENTURY ROMANCE
What is the real story of Valentine's Day?
The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day
SEBASTIAN
I love you Valentine, Yes I do, love you how? With my heart and soul and body, I love
You, Love you so, all the time, Valentine, I love you true, only you, love you now, do you
Think of me? I loved you then, tomorrow I will Love you more, all the time Valentine
Do you love me?
PENELOPE
So much then, now and always, my valentine, from the start,
Loved your heart, So many ways, dear valentine, but lest betrothed,
Cannot court you, this fate is ours, can’t you see, my father will
Disown me, love is me, love is you, together we will always be!
SEBASTIAN
Getting closer 12 more days, know your gentle face, know your heart and your voice,
Even your soul, I can’t wait, will ask your father, but asking you, will you Marry me,
Passion flowing through my being, Love is love, It is us, excitement mounting,
Heart is racing, so distracting, yet awakening, you’ll be mine, dear Valentine, We will
Lay together, two hearts will beat as one, think of you from sleep to sleep, until
We say I do, I will love you till the end of time, my darling dearest valentine.
