Travelling north, travelling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised

It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

Nothing at all, in my head, to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

What will I do if there's someone there with you
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long

The girl stepped into the chill, breathless, frozen, hardly feeling the people push by her to get on and off the train. Her left hand lifted of its own accord, as if trying her to show the ring on her finger. She fixed her eyes on it for a moment, then pulled it off, shoving it into a deep pocket.

Her song was her soundtrack and she mouthed the words to herself as she walked, ignoring the gazes from passersby. She hardly knew where she was going until she got there-a small record store, packed with endless boxes of vinyl. A bell chimed and the man at the desk greeted her without looking up.

She paused, her heart pounding against her ribs. "Are you really here or am I dreaming?"

His head snapped up, jaw slack in shock. "I can't tell dreams from truth..."

"I love you." The words tumbled from her mouth, in English this time.

"Miluju tebe," he murmured back, the Czech words uttered through his thick brogue.

She felt the words hit her, eyes welling with tears, mouth turned down with shock.

"It took me a long time to find that," he said, voice soft and warm.

She nodded, her expression still the same; for once, she could not express her emotions properly.

"What about your husband?"

Her eyes darted to the side and back. "What about your fiancee?"

Neither offered a response; instead, they silently closed the gap separating them. His arms around her, her hands on his chest. He hesitantly tipped his down, eyes questioning. She pushed up onto her toes and pressed her lips to his in one motion, the world around them falling away.
