Am I wasting my time with him

Nearly a year ago I dated a guy for a few months. Then out of the blue he texted it was over as he couldn't commit to me with his busy work schedule & working away all week.
Never heard from him except the odd message every few months.
Then a few weeks ago he messaged to say he had made a mistake, regretted what he did to me, missed me & wanted to put things right.
He messages every day & it's just general chat.
Then the other day he was on about how he should never of walked away like he did.
I said why have you got back in touch after all this time regretting what you did. What do you actually want from me.
His reply was love & friendship.
What does that mean to you lot on here.
He only wants friendship or friendship leading to more in time.
Is this a red flag with him.
Am I wasting my time with him & should walk away now.
Or is he being genuine & I should give him a chance & see where it goes
Any advice much appreciated.
How others see this looking at it from the outside.
Thanks

At least you know the signs if you ever meet someone like this again. And you can also take satisfaction that despite how he may have made you feel, that you deserved better. You are better. I had a brief relationship that ended not long ago and was gutted, but his behaviour later on made me realise I didn't need to be so gutted as he wasnt the great guy I thought he was.
