Does anyone have any advice?

Hey,

My boyfriend decided, and i kindly agreed to that we should go on a relationship break over three weeks ago. The reason we decided to do this was due to the fact that he especially, felt like he was loosing sight of his own personal worth as an individual. He also thought that i needed time alone to find myself and find other things that make me happy other then him. Which I agree with. I feel like our situation is very complicated. We still love each other and care for one another but i guess just need time alone to really understand what its like without having someone there 24/7. We have been together for over 4 years and are only young (both 18 now). We are each others best friend. Now moving into university we decided to do this to restart and rekindle how we feel about one another and the relationship. We both do not want to break up, as we have so much connection with one another but i fear failure and loss. We have talked twice (text message) since last seeing one another and its almost coming up to a month since we decided to go our separate ways for a bit. At the moment after my chat with him tonight I dont see him reconnecting with me emotionally or physically any time soon. However im not prepared to wait around for months on end for him to figure out how he feels. Is this selfish of me? I just feel that im not an option. Does anyone have any adive? Id really appreciate it. Thanks
