A Fine Frenzy – Near To You Lyrics 14 years ago
I completely agree with the idea that the word 'different' isn't used in a negative way. When I hear the song, it perfectly describes my situation right now.

Earlier this year, my 1st boyfriend and I broke up for the 3rd and last time in 2 years. I had kept clinging to what I thought we had- as time went on, I realized that our relationship was completely unequal and toxic. I was in complete denial, but like she says 'I loved him so but I let him go/Cause I knew he'd never love me back.' He had never cared as deeply for me as I had for him.

A while later, I started dating my current boyfriend. He'd been after me since before my ex and I had even started dating. And he is truly 'wonderful.' He's kind, passionate, takes care of me, and is just over all... amazing.

But despite it all, I sometimes still wonder what his motives are; I've been so damaged by my ex into thinking that everything comes with a price to pay- that the happiness I feel with my boyfriend isn't just natural and he's playing me to get what he wants.

I had- and in someway still have- a lot of trouble moving on, but I know it's something that needs to happen because what I have with my boyfriend is so much better. There's none of the lies, none of the broken promises, no twisting of my heart in pain when I look at him, no fear of him, no crying myself to sleep every night. Just simple, endless love, passion, and care. That's what makes it different, and that what I love about our relationship- and about him.
