Song of Solomon 5:10, 13, 16 KJV
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
[13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
[16] His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
I don’t know about yours but Valentine’s Day in High School was such an experience. I still remember some of the love notes that were read to us, that came from Girls’ schools.
No one needs to tell you that the lyrics of those poems were carefully crafted and some even took days to write. Love is sweet. I remember the looks on the faces of some students as theirs were read. They wouldn’t feel a prick of a pin at that point.
The beloved of the Philosopher had many words for him. She was deeply in love and wouldn’t miss the moment. She took time to describe him in details; his head, his eyes, his cheeks, his arms, etc.
You can not look down on those moments. You cannot let them pass you by. But more importantly you cannot forget them if they have already happened. Create a mental image of these moments and re-live them once a while.
Have a blessed day.
