Putting on cleats in the heart of winter and braving the harsh elements just to plant a kiss on your sweetheart’s forehead – that’s love. Sure, you could see them another day, but you need to plant this smooch on their forehead today, so you get some cleats for better grip on the winter snow and you keep thoughts of your dear in your heart as you travel to see your love.
