love will come

I've never known you any less
As we stand face to face after all of this
Anger is vast, but love fills pain
And I'd do anything to be with you again

Full-hearted lies come to make dreams
To press my love until it bursts the seams
I'm at a loss, you never were
You never gave me half a chance to say the words

I do not need a reason, stolen love was never mine
I do not need a reason to let it go this time

Do not arouse or awaken love
Do not arouse or awaken love
Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires

If i let it go, can I still wish
That it could all be swallowed by a single kiss
No stone to throw, no trust in fate
'Cause I believed it all a moment too late

I do not need a reason, stolen love was never mine
I do not need a reason to let it go this time
Let it go this time
Let it go this time

These are the song lyrics to Let it Go by Sandra McCracken. She is referencing Song of Solomon, specifically 2:7 which reads, "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."

(here is an excerpt from a great commentary on this passage):
This charge by Solomon occurs again later (3:5; 8:4). The point of Solomon's words is that others desiring the kind of relationship he and his beloved enjoyed should be patient and "let love take its natural course." The gazelle is a member of the antelope family, and the hind is a female deer. Both animals are skittish, and anyone who wants to get close to them must wait patiently. One cannot approach them aggressively. Similarly a man cannot awaken a woman's love clumsily.
