0It is somewhat similar to the difference between the simple and continuous aspects of the present tense. An example might be clearer: "You are in my mind as I write this" as opposed to "You are always on my mind". The former sentence indicates that I am thinking about you right now, and the latter that I am always thinking about you.0-
