Why does it say "Ani l'Dodi v'Alai Teshukaso"?

1.

Rashi: The Teshuvah is, I am to my Beloved, and also He yearns for me.

2.

Seforno: Hashem's congregation answers to her heart, indeed, I stumbled in all these. In any case, I am to my Beloved and I did not abandon Him - "Im Shachachnu Shem Elokeinu..." (Tehilim 44:21). He desires me - "Yechakeh Hashem Lachananchem v'Lachen Yarum Lerachemchem" (Yeshayah 30:18).

3.

Malbim (Melitzah): His Neshamah left with Neshikah and desire. The part yearns for the whole, and the whole yearns for the part. It clings to its source amidst its great love. R. Shimon ben Yochai said this verse at the time of his death.
