Always on my mind
" Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind"
1. Does 'took the time' and 'took time' mean the same thing? (speding time doing something)
2. What's the difference between 'you were always on my mind' and 'you are always on my mind'?
Thanks

Hi, MrM.
"You were always on my mind."
1. Does the verse suggest that you are no longer on my mind any more since the past tense is used?
Does the verse suggest their relations has ended?
2. I wonder why not use the present tense? (i.e. you are always on my mind.)
The song strongly shows the song's writer still loves or cares about "You" very much
