Helpppp

So there this guy I talked to but we stopped talking due to him needing time to himself and to figure things out with school,family and everything. But my feelings for him still haven’t gone away but I respected his decision and I’m still giving him time. How do I know if he’s ever gonna come back? He’s the sweetest,he’s everything you could ever want in a guy. I’ve never had someone smile at me the way he did,laugh as much as he did or make as much of an effort to see me as he did. It’s been over a month and I feel like I completely lost him and he doesn’t feel that way anymore.
