And Kylo knows that. Ronan knows that he does. He's had firsthand experience with it, the difference between Ronan as a dream and Ronan as a boy. When Ronan's a dream, he's everything his dreamer wants him to be. Which means it's something he's giving. Kylo could do the very same thing with him right now, turn him into a dream of absolute ecstasy.
But Kylo made it clear from the very beginning that the Ronan he wanted was the Ronan who's with him now: brittle and broken, sharp-edged and fragile. He's in pain at all times, and yes, Kylo was violent with him, but the darkness doesn't suddenly clear without Kylo in the picture. Even if Murphy were the sun (and he isn't, not in any way), Ronan has a gloom all his own that can only be cleared when he's prevented from being himself.
"What I'm choosing is you."
When Ronan has a choice at all, it's Kylo he wants. Doesn't he know that?

"I chose you already. I chose you forever."
