Ten years spun like a melody
Laughter echoed, wild and free
A shared space, a woven dream
A stable love, it would all seem
Hand in hand on Ipanema's shore
Smiling faces, wanting nothing more
But beneath the surface, a subtle shade
A quiet unraveling had begun to pervade

A decade's dance, a joyful sound
But shadows creep where love was crowned

An architect, with a gentle gaze
Found a spark in unexpected ways
A charming voice, a melting smile
Across the lapa, for a little while
Stolen moments in a quiet cafe
Secret messages at the close of day
Whispered calls in the bathroom's hush
A web of secrets, a desperate rush
A double life, a thrilling game
But guilt's sharp edge began to claim

A hidden spark, a secret start
Tearing two worlds so far apart

The pragmatic one, with watchful eyes
Noticed shifts behind the thin disguise
A fleeting brightness he couldn't place
A phone call ending without a trace
Excuses offered, flimsy and worn
For late arrivals, since that day was born
At first ignored, a passing stress
But persistent signs began to press

Small changes seen, a growing fear
Whispers of doubt he couldn't clear

Curiosity bloomed to a seed of doubt
A gnawing need to figure it all out
With lawyer's skill, a search began
Through credit slips, a hidden plan
Call logs checked on the shared device
Strange numbers listed, not quite nice
Even the laptop, discreetly explored
Encrypted emails, a painful hoard

A quiet search, the truth unfurled
A painful story of another world

The puzzle pieces clicked and fell
A hurtful picture began to tell
A name appeared in loving lines
Stolen photos in dimly lit shrines
Hotel bookings in towns nearby
For business trips, a blatant lie
Betrayal's blade, a piercing sting
The loved one's secret, a heart-wrenching thing

The pieces fit, a hurtful view
Betrayal's cost, cutting through

The night for truth, a special meal
Like anniversaries, the way they'd feel
White linen spread, the candles gleamed
The favorite wine, as it always seemed
One arrived, a tension in the air
A forced smile, masking deep despair

A tense facade, a truth concealed
The final moment soon revealed

Through the courses, a silent watch
Each nervous movement, every glance and notch
The meal complete, a heavy pause
A folder placed, defying all the laws
Of what they built, the life they knew
I know, the steady voice broke through

Silent watch, the air so tight
Then words that brought the hidden light

Pale face, stammered words unspoken
Guilt's heavy weight, a spirit broken
The folder opened, the proof laid bare
The messages, the photos there
Tears began to freely fall
Confessing all, answering the call
Of truth's harsh whisper, the secret kept
A moment's weakness, regrets unswept

Confession flows, a tear-stained plea
But deeper truths begin to be

Silent listening, a fractured heart
But watching the other fall apart
A wave of understanding, unexpected and deep
Secrets unearthed that the other couldn't keep
Another envelope, from the folder's hold
A trembling hand, a story to unfold
A DNA test, confusion in the eyes
What is this? A whispered, choked surprise

A shocking test, a new surprise
Reflecting lies behind the eyes

Remember a night, some months ago
The calm voice spoke, soft and low
A 'work friend' met, you said it then
That 'friend' and you Conceived again
Silence hung, a deafening sound
Shocked eyes darted, nowhere bound
I I didn't know, a broken plea
He never told me, not to me

A past revealed, a secret kept
A web of motives now unswept

A slow nod, a knowing glance
I learned by chance, a casual advance
He knew the truth, kept it concealed
Wanted you solely, his fate revealed
The child a part of a selfish scheme
The intensity now, a twisted dream
The guilt now mixed with rising ire
Deception's sting, a burning fire

The anger burns, the scales descend
A manipulated, bitter end

No angry shouts, no slamming door
Just two hurt souls, on an unknown shore
A child on the way, a tangled thread
What now to do, what lies ahead?
Ten years of love, a fragile tie
Could it withstand this unexpected cry?
The answer unknown, a winding track
A future uncertain, there's no turning back

What now remains, what path to take?
A future forged for goodness sake
