It's technically possible for you to get checkmated because you have a pawn. You can promote it to a Bishop or rook and get semi-smothered mate on the corner of the board. Ironically if you did not have the pawn, and had only a king it would have been a draw.
I think the exact rules of whether to give draw or loss to the side running out of time when their opponent has a possible but not forcing checkmate vary from website to website and even federation to federation but in Lichess the rules clearly state that any kind of possible checkmate from the other side (even if it's not forced), will make them get the win.
