He opened up and showed you his heart.
He's heartbroken.
We don't beat a dead horse, so don't expect him to keep begging, pleading, and professing his love for you when you've made it clear there's no chance and, presumably, shot down all of his "what if?'s".
He's already made himself vulnerable (blue moon experience), and you telling him he's "the love of your life" and you'll "never love anyone like you loved him" probably seems feigned to him.
He's protecting himself and you need to respect that; if you don't want the coldness, the ball is in your court but I wouldn't count on bringing that "wall" he's got up now down easily. It's now a major uphill climb.
Do what makes you happy, but don't expect his emotions to be there as a fall back when you feel uneasy. We're not exactly sympathetic to a catalyst of our emotional pain.
Good luck, and I hope you both recover quickly. Maybe eventually you'll be caring friends with the pain of the relationship ending waning to a very distant dull feeling.

Maybe you hurt him and thats why he broke up with you. Ill never break up with someone without a lot of thought.
