the scene does look like its framed as a lovers parting forever scene
if i have to discrabe what it actually looks like its when taken out of context
"girl comes out and tells a guy how she feels about him, and the guy not being able to tell her that he feels the same becouse...
and ends up droping the mask and revealing his actual feelings to us the viewers (but not to the girl) once she's out of range

he doesnt tell her that he doesnt feel the same (that would be an easy "i'm sorry")
he cant admit that he DOES
he asks that they spend just a little more time together (knowing that it would be the last time)
he cant look her in the eye when she asks him
cant help but kiss her back
and in the end wispers farwell sadly once she cant hear him again

that is what the scene looks like if seen alone
but like people said the scene is NOT a solo scene and has context
but the context actually ADDS to the interpretaion that its a "lovers goodbye" scene
once you add to that the fact that we now know WHY HE CANT let her know the truth
that he does not in fact HAVE a future to share with her
and that it was in fact his WISH that she lives on and can fullfil her dream
the scene can still be viewed as such (maybe even more so)
