my ex texted me this - what does it mean?

my ex bf texted me saying this: "hey, i just wanted you to know i will always love you. sometimes things don’t plan out the way you want them to. if it’s meant to be between us it’ll happen. we can talk whenever and i will be here for you.
we can still remain friends. we can be there for each other when we know or feel like the other person is having a bad day. we can also just update each other about life. as of right now i want to just be friends. i know you can't do that rn so take time and do what you feel like you need to do in order to grow. we will come back and talk about everything we felt could’ve been fixed and if we are still able to talk again"

what does this mean? we just broke up help
