Seeing her reaction to what he said makes his heart ache, but he wanted her to be happy even if it meant he had to be alone again. But he can't bring himself to look at her, or else he'd break down crying, "I don't want to tie you to me Faye, your life is your own and you should find the person who truly makes you happy. There's still so much more to the world to see then what I can give you, for I'm bound to the darkness of night while you can still walk in the light without too much trouble. Only someone who can always be by your side can make you happy, not someone like myself. I know you're upset, but I don't want you to misunderstand feels you have for me. We both love each other very much, but we've only had each other, and I don't want you to think later on down the road that it was a mistake to be with me." The pain is so much saying all of that it takes all of his will not to double over holding his chest, crying out to her. He's suppressing his emotions in order to do this, even if it breaks his heart.
