Maybe she was early on in the series. And the fact that Solomon had so many women shows he was very interested in them. He probably idolized women. I'm sure each one of them was initially very special to him in their own ways, or he wouldn't have chosen them. But, alas, interest wanes, as we all know, and it's on to the next shulamite.
