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
