breakup advice needed

Me and my boyfriend broke up this past week. We dated for over a year and It’s been really hard on me especially because he only broke up with me because he had too much other stuff on his plate, not really anything specific that I did. We live in different states at the moment which was a huge part of it. He texted me later saying how hard this has been on him and how lonely he is. I told him I felt the same way and I wish I could have him back, even though I know I can’t. He said he wished everything could be back to the way it was and when I said me too he never responded after that and I could see he read it. It’s been a day so I know hes been on his phone. I’m so sad I haven’t eaten in days and I cry all day. I don’t know what to think. Will he ever respond again/should I text again? Or should I just let this be the end.
