2 I slept, but my heart was awake, when I heard my lover knocking and calling:
“Open to me, my treasure, my darling, my dove, my perfect one.
My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”
13 His eyes sparkle like doves beside springs of water;
they are set like jewels washed in milk.
16 His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way.
Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend. - Song of Shlomo 5
1 Where has your lover gone, O woman of rare beauty?
Which way did he turn so we can help you find him?
2 My lover has gone down to his garden, to his spice beds,
to browse in the gardens and gather the lilies.
3 I am my lover’s, and my lover is mine. He browses among the lilies.

Observation/Promise:
Everyone needs true love. We seek it from family and friends, from a partner or soul mate. But among all these, true romantic love is hardest to find. When love is young it is sweet and wild, fresh and promising, because it has no responsibilities just the pleasure of having love. But Love is tested when it has to take on responsibilities and it becomes mature through the test of time. There is a time to wait for love until it becomes full growth. Waiting is hard but it will keep you from getting burned from rushing into love.
Command/Application:
Know what True love is. You can find true love first in GOD. Desire true love and wait for it. Love between a man and a woman can be deceiving by its newness. Do not rush love but test it through time. Allow love to grow through time. When love lives through time, love is proving to be true. When love sticks together even after bad times, love is maturing. Seek True Love. True romantic love should that be like of GOD's. True love sacrifices for the other to the point of even giving up one's life for the sake of the other. If love comes to this point, then you know that you are ready for the commitment of loving forever.
