My guess is that she interpreted that for just what it was.
A recognition on your part of who you were when the two of you fell in love, how far away from that you allowed yourself to get, and the bitter regret that you might have realized your mistake too late.
You showed vulnerability, not wussiness.
Her response was very telling. Hugged you, wiped away your tears, and kissed you. That level of intimacy blows the socks off of whatever intimacy you enjoyed later that night.
Honesty, openness....these things are NEVER bad.
You're doing great.
