Can this love light burn bright again?

I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years 3 months ago. We were both in high stress situations and fighting often; the pressure finally got to me and I broke up with him after a pointless fight. I am very at peace with my decision and I know it was much needed for me (I feel I am in a much better place emotionally).

In my heart I think we shared a love that was truly special and I would like to work on our relationship together and live the life we planned to have together. I have talked to my ex about this and he is very hot and cold with me. It is hard for me to see him with such a wall built up towards me, but I know I am to blame for breaking his heart.

I guess I am asking for advice on what I should do next. My plan is to just wait and hopefully he will find himself and see the love I have for him is true. Deep down I think he wants to get back together with me, but is trying to suppress the urge to love me.

He is leaving soon to go on an adventure for a couple of months, which I think will be good for him to find himself. I have been very supportive of his decision and have done my best to encourage him in his future plans. If we can’t have a relationship together I would at least like to be his friend again without feeling like he has a wall built up towards me…any advice?

Thanks, Miss Magnolia.
