I gave the ultimatum and now I am stuck

I told the person I was seeing that we had to be official or I was leaving. We had been seeing each other for a few months and things felt proper. We hung out every weekend and talked all day. When I brought it up last night, they just looked at me and said they were not ready for that kind of commitment. I had promised myself I would walk away if they said that. I am actually doing it. I told them goodbye and I deleted the chat. It is 2am and I feel awful. My flat is so quiet and I just want to send a text to check if they are okay or if they have changed their mind. I know I cannot do that because then I am just the person who makes empty threats. It is only been ten weeks but it feels like a massive hole. I am sitting here staring at my phone and fighting the urge to message them to see if we can just go back to how it was. I have to stick to what I said though. It is just really hard right now.
