The Song of Songs

I feel like with The Song of Songs, that I would have to read it a full 9 and a half times (sarcasm) or so to really grasp the full meaning of it if there even is a full meaning. It sort of bothered me that they kept repeating a lot of the same things over and over possibly to fully get the point across but to me, it just made me lose what was going on like maybe she was searching for her lover and had people helping her and she was just telling stories to them about him to help describe him so the others could help. Or maybe it was flashbacks of actually events that happened at separate times. I am not sure. I just didn't like it that much because it was written in that Old English that is very hard to follow and half the words I did not understand what they even meant. I can deffinately see how it could be a very passionate and loving poem if only I could understand it a little better.
