Do guys ever regret it?

My boyfriend and I had been dating for a while. He told me that he was happy when he was around me, that the relationship was great, and that I was the first person that he ever told he loved and meant it. We lived together this summer and did great. We never had fights, just small disagreements sometimes. Friends would tell us that they've never seen either of us so happy before. We broke up Sunday, and we both were bawls our eyes out. He said his heart wasn't in it anymore, and he didn't know why he felt like that. He didn't have answers for anything and would get upset if I thought it was something I did. He told me he never wanted me to feel like it was my fault. He said it wasn't me, or is, that it was him and he didn't know why. I told him that I wished it would have worked, and that I really thought that this relationship was the one. He said he thought it was too and that he wished it would have worked. I've been in relationships before where my heart wasn't in it, and the break up was the easiest thing I did. Not a tear shed. He told me two days later that he cares about me, and that maybe he needed some time. We've been texting the last two days. I feel like he was scared of the future and began to panick. We both graduate college this year, and he will be commissioning as an AirForce officer, along with training for a year. I think he was scared of what would happen down the road and didn't communicate those feelings to me or know how to process it. I know he cares about me and loves me still. I know he misses me. I just feel like it'd be a waste if we didn't try again because of how happy we were together. Everyone thinks we could make it work. It's up to him though. Long post, but I'd appreciate anything.
