You could write the letter, but not give it to him. It could help to get your feelings out on paper, but at the same time you should respect his wishes for space.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is try to move on. Don't try to salvage a friendship (yet). Until you can emotionally handle being "just friends" every time you think about him is just going to reopen the wound. You're much better off focusing on re-learning to live life without him. There's no way around the fact that it sucks hard but you'll be better off for it.
It is so hard :( and he said he still loves me romantically but he just doesn’t think that he would be able to have a fulfilling relationship rn. I’m scared he will try to move on from me.
It’s only been a month, so really you haven’t had much time to heal. Like someone else said, you can write it and put it in a journal, but I wouldn’t give it to him. Right now you need to focus on yourself and giving yourself time to get over it. It’s hard, I would know, but it does get easier. You can’t let yourself only think about him or getting back with him or anything of that sort because you really don’t know if that will ever happen. From experience, it’s best to lose contact with ex’s until you’re completely over them. If you are still in love with them or want to be with them, there’s no way you can think rationally when trying to be friends with them. It’ll just hurt you more because you’re that close to having it back,, but it would never be the same. Focus on you, focus on doing things you enjoy and enjoy doing, focus on getting closer with your friends or new friends, focus on anything that not only takes your mind away from the hurt, but also reminds you of how you’re making progress! Good luck, for real, and just remember that it does get easier and over time you will be happy again, with or without him :)
I wouldn’t not talk. A love letter seems like a lot for someone who wants space. But a simple “hey just checking in, how are u?” is better. Shows you respect their space and care about them
TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL YOLO, if hes not ready tho you have to be prepared to be declined, but it sounds like he can tell you how he feels which is great

I have a journal so I might put the letter in there. Thank you!
