He doesn't want to let go and trust you to take care of him because it's going to hurt again, and he's so fucking tired of hurting.
But he doesn't want to turn you away. Him avoiding the hurt doesn't justify possibly hurting somebody he cares about as a result, and you're more than just that to him. You're his entire fucking world.
