"HAVE YOU SEEN HER TODAY?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

Have you seen her today? The last time he recalls, she was still right in his arms. Her tiny fingers touched his stubbly face, her girlish giggles caused that warmth in his gaze.

Have you seen her today? She wasn't even given a chance to say goodbye. He wonders if she'd ever cried. He doesn't ask for too much; just the need to stay in touch.

Have you seen her today? Well, have you? He is now so blue. How come it's not good enough that his love's so true? If only there's more to do.

Have you seen her today? Please, let him know. Let him know that she's okay. Let her know he's missing her so, because being without her is an unbearable pain.

Have you seen her today? Please tell her: "Don't forget your dad. Even when he can't be with you now, there'll be time for that. Baby girl, please always remember."
