“Every Time – I Think Of You” (Song)

By Athena Stairs, November 20, 2025

There’s a place I know
I can see it in my mind

Where the ocean’s ebb flow
Meets the shore at high tide

And the waves crashing lap
Where the fullness presides

Under bridging overpass
Along cliff’s curving glide

A place where elements meet
Forming bonds within the air

Makes my heartbeat sing
Knowing we can meet there

Along this cove that’s discreet
Where people won’t stop and stare

Where given time to unwind
We’ll feel the depths that we share

And when the waves will receed
We’ll find a contour down there

Revealing hidden treasures
Gathered wealth we can spare

And then we’d journey onward
Through the tunnel high above

Grab a plane to somewhere
No one else would think of

And I’d gaze upon your face
Trace each scar as we embrace

We’d learn that we’ve found the place
Our dreams can trust in Heaven

And if you ever doubt reasons
That brought our hopes to surface

Just know I’ll be here every season
And love’s reborn with greater purpose
