He wants to be wanted, and with you he is. You gave him the attention nobody else would. He loves you for that, there are those here that would give him that attention as well, it would help him get out of his shell and be more open. But there's a cost, those that have me, end up loving me more than anyone else, and I ask that my needs come before anyone else. You'd have to give up your attachment, your dedication to him, and put be before him. You'll have to decide, give him more, but not not of yourself, or give yourself to him entirely, but that's all he'll have is you. There's no gain, without sacrifice, you must choose what that is.
