What are his intentions?

So I broke up with my ex 8 months ago because I felt neglected in the relationship. I miss him terribly now and he was my best friend. He says that we can be friends one day but not this soon. But I am unsure if would be fair to either one of us to just be friends one day. We were together for 6 years and I feel there is too much history there. I would be willing to give our relationship a chance if I could see that we both are willing to put in the effort.

What are his intentions with wanting to be friends one day but not now?
