Your story sounds a lot like somebody else's I knew. They left from the other side of the country to try to get back an ex, and in the end their ex strung them along for the entire year or so and ended up finding somebody else. I remember thinking that I probably would have done the same thing - long distance relationships are a hard thing to maintain to begin with, and to know that you were left simply because your partner wanted someone to be with physically more than anything else you might have to offer would be an even harder thing to deal with.
It might be difficult to imagine, but keep in mind that your ex might be unconsciously stringing you along as well. It's probably not intentional, but it's a completely human reaction when someone who had once rejected you is now doing everything they can to get you back. I would recommend not coming off as too desperate, but do your best to remind him of how much you loved him and still do, and avoid making/reminding him of past promises that you may have broken.
Those are really the only things you can do while you wait for his decision, and just be prepared for the possibility of a new relationship overshadowing an old, broken one. I hope it ends happily for both of you.
