What does he expect?
My boyfriend and I have a great relationship, we're 4 hours apart right now because of college but we talk all the time. By this I mean texting until the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. Then every night around 8 he'll ask me what I'm doing and I'm normally not doing anything and then he asks me to call him, so I always do and then we get on the phone, have a conversation for about 5 minutes and then there's nothing left to talk about because we talked all day. Then he gets this slightly annoyed tone in his voice because I have nothing to talk about! I don't know what to do. If I said I didn't feel like talking I know he'd take it personally and I don't want to hurt his feelings but I don't want to have phone conversations where we just listen to each other breathe and fall asleep.

Ive answered a similar question like this before.
When I was a senior in Highschool, my BF got a really good job at his aunts fuel company about 4 hours away. He had to work long hours but would come down on the weekends when he could.
We realized we started having the same problem as you guys, when we talked on the phone every night, we just sat in silence. it was pretty lame so he suggested that we do this
we each wrote in a journal every night about how our day went. any funny thoughts or jokes we heard that day. THEN, every friday night we would talk on the phone, and read our journal entries to eachother.
not only does it create a great conversation, its last longer that 5 minutes and its fun. it made our 4 months apart bearable until he could come back to town to me.
that was when I was 16. Im now 21 yrs old and we are married. :-)
hope this helps!!

Sounds like you two ran out of things to say, I would cut the texting down a little bit save it for when you two talk on the phone. It will give you something to talk about, However it's not everyday that we all have something new to talk about either. I have ran into this problem on many occasions.
When you run out of things to talk about, You can keep it casual like "Hi, How was your day I didn't do much but I wanted to call to check up on you I've missed you"
Sometimes sadly it helps to think of things to talk about before you pick up the phone too.
