discountenancing

I moved in February and my boyfriend at the time and I agreed that a relationship wouldn't work because of the uncertainty of both of our futures.
But he still calls and we still talk and he's having trouble coping.
"I miss you so much," he says, with the delicacy of a flower petal.
"I just wish you were here; I want to kiss you," he tenderly says.
And he tells me that he cannot, for the life of him, get me out of his head.
Granted, we had a wonderful relationship while it lasted and hearing him say such things is a romantic's delight...
But I'm not too much of a romantic. And I sit on the other end of the phone and just... listen to him.
"I miss you too," I'll say, but in my mind it's Yes, I miss you... but not enough to call you nearly every day.
