<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

My ex ended things last October after almost 2 years and I haven't heard from him until last Sunday. When he ended things he was the one talking mostly. I didn't know what to say at the time because it was really unexpected and my brain couldn't process in the moment what was happening. Earlier in January I sent him text with everything I wanted to say that night. I was having a hard time moving in and I needed to let go. He didn't respond which I expected. One night I was staying with my sister and we had been drinking. She took my ipad and messaged him asking how he was doing.
I was embarrassed especially since he again did not respond. 

Last Sunday I was in bed and I got a text from him saying "I'm alright. How are you?".....!?!?! I was very confused and wary but I messages him back and we did small talk about work and the Super Bowl. I was getting tired of beating around the bush so I asked him why he was talking to me now after all this time. He said he felt he was blowing it out of proportion and he wanted to talk to his friend and he wanted to be my friend and that I seem awesome and his life would benefit from having me in it. He apologized for waiting so long to talk to me.

I told him I would like to be his friend and I asked what now? He said we take small steps and he thanked me for the messages I sent him. I fell asleep and woke up to a picture of him he sent a little after I went to bed. I could tell he was a bit drunk that night because of the way he was texting so I decided to message him the next morning and see what would happen. I said that was a good picture of him and I haven't heard anything since. I'm very confused on what to think. I care for him but I don't have feelings for him anymore and I would like to be his friend but I feel like at this point it's up to him.
<bot>: ex drunkly texts me after 4 months of no contact asking to be friends. Texted him next morning but haven't heard anything since. WTF?
