I need help and I'm confused?

I dated this guy for a year and 7 months. A couple days before my party on August 4th, 2012. He tried breaking up with me but we talked it out. Then 2 days after my birthday, Aug. 28th, he dumped me and there was no way I could change his mind. He said he broke up with me because he wanted to have a break so when we get back together it’ll be how it was in the beginning. He brings me in and out of his life. He texts me one day saying I miss you and I want you back. I tell him “then fight for me ?” and he says he doesn’t wanna be with me right now. I’m thinking that he wants me around but also wants to be able to flirt with other girls. He tells me “ We may not be together but our hearts are.” and that he wants to be with me & I’m the only girl he wants but he doesn’t try to change anything. Then the next day he says me and him can’t ever be together that we’ll just be friends, maybe in the future but not right now. Like what the fuck ?I don’t know what to do. Last week he got surgery done and I went to visit him for 3 days straight, he told me he was gonna start talking to me 24/7 and that I’m amazing and that he’s gonna ask me to be his once he’s healed. I felt like we were back together but then on Saturday he tells me that he wants to be just friends for now and he starts talking to me like just a friend. It kills me cause he’s not letting me go and all he’s doing is playing with my heart and since I love him obviously Ima go for any attention he gives me. I just don’t know what to do anymore because I don’t wanna lose him.
