Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Me and my boyfriend were arguing and the neighbor heard us and thought we were physically fighting and we weren't and the neighbor then called the cops. The police are still perusing a domestic violence charge and have a warrant out for his arrest. I told the police i didn't want to press charges and didn't want him arrested. they made me write a statement anyway and what i said in the statement wasn't 100% true. I said he pushed me on the bed and he pushed me against the wall. When really we were fighting over a shirt and he yanked it from my hands and i fell on the bed. And the other incident was we were both mad and tried to run out of the bedroom door at the same time and we bumped each other and i ran myself into the wall. I was really upset and emotional and mad at my boyfriend when i wrote the statement and didn't think he would get in serious trouble. Now i feel really ashamed of what i said in the statement because it wasn't 100% true. He didn't nothing wrong and i need advice on what to do and how to fix it without getting myself into trouble for lying in the police statement.

Thank you so much
