She sensed the signs, her heart could see,
The hidden truths and false decree.
Yet still, she stepped into the storm,
Drawn to a love that felt so warm.

He spoke of love, eternal and grand,
But said commitment wasn’t in the plan.
“Exclusivity means possession,” he’d contend,
“Love’s a state of being, no need to defend.”

She grasped his logic but questioned the claim,
For to her, true love’s not a fleeting flame.
Exclusivity, she felt, is not possession,
But a selfless bond, a deeper connection.

Her heart was caught, her soul confused,
In shadows where true love was misused.
Though warnings came and guilt was near,
She chose to stay despite the fear.

She steps into the shoes of the one betrayed,
Feeling the weight of trust that’s frayed.
In her reflection, the truth is clear,
Eternal love knows no deceit or fear.
