Doesn’t want to hurt me?

Hanging out with this guy, we’re both moving away have hooked up a few times and we’ve a beautiful intense emotional bond!
I think they’re great, I’m 5 years older and I know this will end. I don’t expect a relationship whatsoever or hinted at it. In many ways I feel they may like me more. I don’t know if it makes them feel better to imagine they’re a player and are careful with me?

They text me constantly, I was out and they replied instantly and said they felt desperate.
I felt the constant texting was getting too much like we were a couple and pulled back a bit to avoid getting too attached or form a habit.
They said they didn’t want me to get attached and that they were going to type something crazy but held back to avoid it ( no idea what they meant)

They keep saying they didn’t want to hurt me, or make me get attatched and that I was expecting too much of them? They initiate everything.

I said I wanted to keep it light and of course I’d be sad but I still love spending time with them.

I said I felt they were actually the one who is a bit attatched and shoving all the emotions on me.
Am I crazy? Did I hurt their ego? It’s like they wanted me to beg them for a relationship and I’ve never mentioned commitment. I feel like they felt vulnerable and wanted to get some control.
Thoughts?
