My boyfriend dropped a bomb and told me that he has been dreaming and thinking about our mutual friend. What should I do or how to feel about this?

I recently connected him to a mutual friend who moved close to us. We all startes hanging out. She started touching him and I felt uncomfortable. I let it slide until I saw him holding her hand. I left and cinfronted him the following day. He said its not what it seems and that he doesn't have feelings for her. I believed him and we spent the night together. The following day he confessed via text that he does have feelings for her and has been dreaming and thinking about her a lot. I asked him if he wanted to date her and he said he couldn't even if wanted to. So this left me thinking whether he really loves me or what I have been trying to build with him. He said he is confused. He said nothing more than the hand touching happened between them. The fact that he has been dreaming about her and thinking about her while he was with me really hurts me. This hurt me so much. I have been a mess since but somehow I still love him. I dont know if there is something worth figuring out.
