He said love you?

Guy I’ve been seeing, we’re mostly FWB. He knows I want to date him but I technically ended things with him about two weeks ago. We made up this weekend, although things have still been weird. Anyways, he’s distant af, he just got out of a 5 year relationship. Anyways tonight I was texting him after a car accident. Told him I need a break (like from life and everything) and that I missed him. He then texted me “Love you” “As a good friend and whatever it comes”. What? I don’t even know what to reply? Does this mean just as a friend? Idk my brain is scrambled. Someone give me words of wisdom. I know he doesn’t want a relationship rn btw.
