relationship not working?

I've known my Leo guy almost all my life. We messed around in middle school but never had sex. About a year and a couple of months ago, our lives crossed path again and we have been in a "Friendship" fooling around. I love him, always have. And since we've been fooling around he's done this pull-push thing where one minute we are good and connected then he flips and doesn't want to talk to me. Everyone around us says he loves me. I feel it too. I just think that he is scared to be in love because of past pain. But here's the thing in the times that we've been upset with one another we've both said some hurtful things and I lied about the most stupidest thing ever to get under his skin. When he confronted me about it. I didn't deny that I had lied and also apologized for it. But he told me tonight that he feels like our relationship isn't working because he feels like he can not trust me anymore. he says that at this point in his life he is feeling like he is a wreck and needs time to himself. I want to give him his time but I also want to regain his trust. So my question is this, how do I regain his trust and get him to see that what we have can work and grow?
Even before you lied he was doing the push-pull thing so try not to blame your lying for his behavior.
Leo's really don't push and pull unless they are not that into it with the person. When a Leo is in--he's in, no doubts, no push and pull, he's all in.
Don't worry about regaining his trust. What you should really be focused on is why the push pull behavior began in the first place.
If he's a wreck he's not boyfriend ready anyway. He'll easily forgive you but you may want to consider dating someone else.
@xdimplez Yeah, I know I fucked up. I've apologized again and explained it to him and he is willing to continue our relationship again. He apologized for his push and pull behavior. He said he knows that I love him and doesn't like to see me suffer. he also apologize and owned up to a lot of our conflicts. I'm not quite sure what to make of everything exactly but i'll take it. @tiki33 You're right, I don't think he's boyfriend ready but he's willing to try to be the best he can so he states. He says he doesn't want me out of his life. I now understand and know why the push/pull behavior.
