Should I break our no contact if he confessed his love to me right before?

On our last FaceTime sleep call, I made a joke saying - "Wow, you don't like me huh?" and he blurted, "I love you" for the first time and then immediately starting apologizing and saying he didn't mean it and that it just rolled off his tongue. So, I brushed it off and didn't say anything back because he didn't say anything when I questioned if he actually meant it or not.

The next morning, we were saying our goodbyes to one another because we both maturely agreed that our situation is unrealistic (given college, distance, and where we are in life as 17/18 year olds). However, before he hung up on our last call before no contact he said, "I love you" for the second time. Now, I know he means it but I didn't get to say anything back.

My head is spinning with questions such as:

Is it okay to break no contact and talk to him about it? I like him a LOT but I don't think I'm on the level of love yet so would there really be a point to? Especially since we already agreed on going separate ways because of the timing? If you were him, would you even want me to break no contact - like what if he just said that because he knows we'll never talk again and wants it to stay like that?

(P. S) I know that he has never been in love or confessed his love to somebody before.
