Song of Solomon 8:1

[The custom in Israel at that time was that women were not allowed to express their love openly, not even to their married husbands! The bride therefore dreams and sings:]
If only you were like my brother,
nursed at my mother's breast!
If I met you out there
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me for it.
