Long distance

My boyfriend, who I’ve been dating for around a month now is moving to Australia in 2-3 months. I just got a text from him saying “I can’t do long distance. I can’t. And I really don’t want to say goodbye at the airport either. So it’s going to have to be until I move. You understand that yes?” I really love him, he’s great, we’d been really good friends for a while before we started dating and I don’t know what to do. I don’t hate the idea of long distance but he does :(
