He was scared. And it wasn't just because of the possibility of rejection. He was afraid he'd lose her.
So he makes her forget, it's just easier that way.
Even if seeing her, from the shadows outside her window, unaware of his confession, was the most painful thing- it would have to do. As long as she's there, he still has the slightest of chances; a chance to do right by someone, for once.

Maybe.
Then maybe, it's possible to break too.
Maybe it was. He could almost feel it.
Almost.
