Song of Songs 8:1-4

1Oh, I wish you were my brother, who nursed at my mother’s breasts. Then I could kiss you no matter who was watching, and no one would criticize me.

2I would bring you to my childhood home, and there you would teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, my sweet pomegranate wine.

3Your left arm would be under my head, and your right arm would embrace me.

4Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right.
