What others discovered
Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe." Strange words to find in Scripture, until you notice what they are made of. Not gold, not conquest. Fawns. Soft, shy, easily startled. He reaches for the gentlest image he can find to tell her she is lovely. Does your love handle people that carefully?
Notice how her words have shifted. Earlier she said, "My beloved is mine, and I am his." Now she simply rests: "I am my beloved's. His desire is toward me." She no longer needs to stake her claim. She has been looked at, and wanted, and that settles her. Do you know yourself wanted like that? Not tolerated. Desired.
Your mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep."
Notice how love here is not hurried or ashamed. It lingers, savors, delights. God gave us the Song of Solomon so we would know He is not embarrassed by tender affection between two who belong to each other. What have you called "too much" that He calls beautiful?
