Dear T -

I think I need to see you more often, but I don't know how to ask for what I need. I was trying to cut back on seeing you, hoping to detach and handle my problems on my own... but I don't think I'm ready for that step. I hate asking for help - I avoid it at all costs - but it helps so much to talk with you and have you listen so attentively. I wish I could get that in my life without having to pay for it!

And I completely understand why you don't email - no explanation needed. But thank you so much for getting back to me with an alternate plan.
I definitely have "loving feelings" towards you.
