I comfort the younger version of myself. Or exploring my sexuality? Or both?

I dreamed this over 2 years ago but I still remember it. I was in the woods with a girl who I guess resembled my younger self. She came to me crying, that her boyfriend had broken up with her or something. She was at least 7 years younger than me and she seemed so innocent and pure. I held her while she cried on my shoulder. I guess in the dream, I had always had a crush on her. She seemed so vulnerable; I just wanted to protect her and take her pain away. I was rubbing her back, she stopped crying, and then one thing led to another and we started kissing. I really liked it, I loved her and wanted to be with her. Later on, I found out that she had told a church leader about what we had done, only she said that I had forced myself on her, that she hadn't wanted it at all. I told him that I hadn't forced anyone. It just happened. I was hurt at what she had said because I had thought that she enjoyed it. I thought that she really liked me. A few hours after the meeting, she ran to me, crying that she was sorry and that she wanted to be with me. I was so happy, almost to the point of tears. I held her, looked lovingly into her eyes, and kissed her lips. I told her that I loved her. I said to her, "why did you have to tell? Now we can't be together. Silly girl." I kissed her again and it was bittersweet. I knew she wasn't ready to leave her church (where homosexuality is strictly prohibited). And now they knew, so they would probably tell her to break all contact with me. I was willing to wait for her, because I loved her. I would be there when she was ready.
