Cancer in love

Pisces in love
You tend to want a connection that feels emotionally meaningful, not simply convenient. You can romanticize someone's potential and sometimes fall in love with what a relationship *could become*. Your happiest relationships are the ones where tenderness exists alongside honesty and grounded reality.
