Break up advice

My boyfriend of just over a year just broke up with me but we have all the same friends and I want to remain friends with him. We broke up because he didn't want to be in a romantic relationship and we wanted different things in life it wasn't messy and it will likely be better for us both in the long run. I'm still upset over it as I did love him but I know he didn't love me. Do people think that we will be able to be friends after this and how this might be possible?
