I sent my boyfriend a text I regret do I own it or unsend it?

My boyfriend and I have some issues after a year of relationship. I started even thinking if we cannot overcome them to end it. I love him though and thats why i’m sticking and trying to see if we can work it out. He has gone with his friends to another city for the weekend and I wanted to talk to him about a job opportunity I got to another country next year. He told me to talk tomorrow. I replied after some time with “we can also go for a drink like good old times, wish you a good drive i’m going to sleep” or something like that. He isn't connected and it’s not delivered yet. Should I unsend it on messenger? it will show I deleted a text (not a better option) or leave it and explain it was only a joke because we haven’t been going out much and I expressed that I missed going on dates and doing activities or don’t say anything and wait to see if he’ll react? i’m usually overthinking everything and doing something more spontaneous like texting this without much thinking felt good. On the other hand it sounds a like sarcasm or irony and there’s a chance he’ll straight into that or if he’s tired of travelling might not pay attention. My friends say that I lost my self into this relationship and always accomodate him and apologizing and stuff so I just wanted to say what was on my mind for a change unapologetically. We talked about this stuff before that we kind of got comfortable and stopped sort of dating each other. Which is beautiful but on its own it isn’t enough. I was also texting him through the weekend and I feel like I could have taken some time to disconnect. I don’t want to disconnect from my partner but if talking doesn't help what do we do? he’s a kind and sweet person and thats why I feel like if I could erase the text I would. He told me that I have an irrational fear he’ll leave me and withdraw so wanted to bring back some flirting or fun. Thank you guys!
