Maybe he was just afraid of getting hurt, maybe life had dealt him a few bad hands when it came to matters of the heart, maybe what you mistook for coldness was the defence mechanisms kicking in to protect his heart. That being said, he was probably a workaholic jerk, probably snored too, probably caused embarrasing library incidents as well. I'm sure he's still a coward but i'm just as sure that he never meant to hurt you, he just didn't want to be hurt and i'm also just as sure that he would always want to see a smile on your face even if he had to tickle the sides of your mouth. To my favourite poet, may hapiness be your constant companion and sorrow an unknown stranger as long as men walk beaches with beautiful girls in their arms and watch suns descend upon western shores.
