Virgo female needing advice on Leo man

I don't normally go on these things,recently something happened, confused and hurting. I'm a Virgo. It was only two weeks, but this Leo man and I really connected, we talked about our future, asked if I wanted kids. Told me when If I let him he would love to take care of me. Complimented me everyday. Told me he loved talking to me. Said I was a dream come true and I was exactly what he has been looking for. He even asked to see photos of myself and my son because he knew we were a package deal and to have me meant to accept my son. Told me that my son was a bonus, we would be an instant family and he really loved that idea. Instantly wanted to label us as bf/gf, even told his really good friend the first weekend that I was his gf and showed my pic, he was SO proud. He made me SO happy and I made him SO happy! Craziest thing, we NEVER officially met in person. We were planning on meeting in two weeks because he had a business trip in another town, but after the first week he suddenly had a huge business promotion to take over the office to fix issues that suddenly came up and the company wanted him run the company's office in another country. He had to make a decision within less than 24 hours and if he did, he was to fly out the next day. He said he was so upset because if he went, it meant we had to end it. He also said we would talk later, he had to really think this out. Didn't hear from him the rest of the day, which wasn't like him, so I knew he made the decision to go. I texted him and emailed him that it was okay, I did not want to hold him back from his career, but I would still love to keep in contact with him. Didn't hear back until the next morning that he was so very sorry, that he was very upset and felt it was best to let it all go (I don't know what this really means). I texted him several other times that it was okay, but let me know if we can still communicate and that I was proud of him and everything will be okay...he responded Thank you very much and wished me the best. I again asked him if we can stay in touch that he was too special to totally end it, that I want him to go forth with his career..his last reply was "thank you for understanding. HUGS!" I have not heard back from him again, never said we were never to communicate again. PLEASE help me to understand. Do you feel he may still contact me or do you feel that this was a complete goodbye and I will never hear from him again? I think he was falling for me and had really strong feelings for me, like I did for him. I really need advice, never been with a LEO! :( I want so much for him to contact me. I emailed him after he left that I want whatever he would offer as long as I can keep contact with him. But I'm afraid that his "pain", he deals with it by cutting all ties for good. Does this mean he really cared? Mainly, will he make contact with me again? Or just give it all up. I am so sad, please HELP me understand.
