Mutual Possession and an Invitation to Intimacy

Song 7:10-8:4
10I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me. 11Come, my beloved; let us go out into the field and lodge among the cypresses. 12Let us rise early and go to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine has flowered, whether the blossom has opened, whether the pomegranates have budded; there I will give my beloved my love. 13The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and at our doors are all choice fruits, new and old alike, which I have stored up for you, my beloved.
Chapter 8
1If only you were as a brother to me, one who nursed at my mother's breast! I would find you outside and kiss you, and no one would despise me. 2I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother, who would instruct me; I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of the pomegranate. 3His left hand is beneath my head, and his right hand embraces me. 4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you do not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
