Why did he stop loving me after two months apart?

i was in a long-distance relationship with him for two months while he was working at a summer camp in . I actually encouraged him to go from the beginning because he had worked there before and absolutely loved the experience. I wanted him to be happy and have that again.
Before he left our relationship was genuinely so loving. I never had to ask for reassurance we communicated really well and we handled little issues in a mature way. We were always talking about our future the things we wanted to do together and how neither of us had ever experienced this kind of love with anyone else. I was completely and utterly in love with him.
Then he went away and slowly the communication became less frequent and there was less emotion from him. I kept telling myself it was because he was busy with work and his schedule was probably hectic. When he finally came home and I saw him for the first time I asked about the change and directly asked if his feelings for me had changed.
He said yes.
We sat in the car talking for a while while I was sobbing. I was completely blindsided. The only version of him I knew in person was the person he had been before leaving. That was the boy who loved me reassured me talked about our future and made me feel so sure about us.
Now I’m supposed to accept that he doesn’t love me anymore. We’ve been no contact for five days and I’m struggling so badly with it. My brain genuinely cannot understand how someone can feel so deeply for you and then come back two months later saying those feelings are gone. It feels like I’m being forced to accept a reality that didn’t exist in my life until suddenly it did.
Before he left everything between us felt healthy. We had our own friendships saw each other around three times a week had amazing conversations about life and were completely aligned about what we wanted. We talked about our future constantly. Nothing prepared me for this.
I know people will say I need to move on but this is honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with. How do I move on from someone when the only version of him I really knew was the one who was so completely sure he wanted me? I’m trying to accept that things have changed but I’m still grieving the person I knew before he left. I’m a complete wreck right now and I don’t even know if any of this makes sense.
