Albus Dumbledore held many things dear.
His memories, he held dearest. He had so many from his long life, that if you would put them all in a pensieve, it would take you three lifetimes to look at all of them. Which is strange, because not even he had lived that long.
There were memories of his times with Grindelwald, there were memories of his days at Hogwarts, and then there were some memories of his dear, beloved sister.
Then there were memories of Tom Riddle.
When he shared some of them with Harry, he felt it must be done, but at the same time, he felt like something was getting taken from him. He always did like to keep his memories to himself.
