and behind what ive been through
i stop to smell a single rose
their beauty are so few

i struggle to take just one more step
but it seems i cant go on
the energy within my soul
that brought me here is gone

it seems so long a journey
just to smell another rose
there should be more along the way
why not
god only knows
so now i use the last of life
to live a way that's mine
and hope to smell just one more rose

i live on borrowed time

It is hard sometimes Billy to find the stamina to go on. I know. It just doesn't seem worth it. But it is. We just have to keep going no matter what. I wish you luck my friend.

your struggle is felt, dearest ..
as is your hope and desire -

and if you find time running out, you can
borrow some of mine ..
