“I was sleeping, but my heart was awake. A sound! My love was knocking!  Song of Songs 5:2

 

Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my perfect one. For my head is drenched with dew, my hair with droplets of the night.” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭5:2

 

“I have taken off my clothing. How can I put it back on? I have washed my feet. How can I get them dirty?”  ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭5:3‬ 

 

My love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him. I rose to open for my love. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.  Song of Songs 5:4-5

 

I opened to my love, but my love had turned and gone away. My heart sank because he had left.  Song of Songs 5:6

Hurt

I sought him, but did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.  Song of Songs 5:6

 

The guards who go about the city found me. They beat and wounded me; they took my cloak from me— the guardians of the walls.  5:7 

Change 

 

Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you, if you find my love, tell him that I am lovesick. 5:8

 

What makes the one you love better than another, most beautiful of women?  5:9

 

His head…hair…eyes…cheeks…lips…arms…body…legs…presence…mouth…This is my love, and this is my friend…. Song of Songs 5:16

Amends 

My love has gone down to his garden, to beds of spice, to feed in the gardens and gather lilies. I am my love’s and my love is mine.  Song of Songs 6:2-3

Communication 

You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, lovely as Jerusalem, awe-inspiring as an army with banners.  Turn your eyes away from me, for they captivate me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of ewes coming up from washing, each one having a twin, and not one missing.  Song of Songs 6:4-7

Forgiveness 

I am my love’s, and his desire is for me. Song of Songs 6:10

Reconciliation
