"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter." - 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 KJV

(Godly sorrow works repentance that leads to salvation. It is not something that is regretted. The sorrow of the world, being sorry for sin without repentance, results in spiritual death. You were sorry with godly sorrow. You were so careful, you desired to clear yourself in the matter, you felt anger, fear, a longing, zeal, determined to punish the wrong. In every area you have cleared yourself in this matter.)
