He hasn't responded yet, but what do I expect on a Friday night? He has a life. I'm not a special snowflake.

I feel like he's so important to me, but I am just one of the many he sees every day. The last thing he probably wants to do when he gets home is deal with "work." And it hurts to think that that is all I am...

“I’m good at loving books. I’m good at loving soft bed sheets. I’m good at loving coffees and teas. I am good at loving things that can’t love me back, that don’t have the power to leave. And maybe, that’s why I love them.”

No need for name calling, you're not an idiot at all. These are natural feelings...therapy is so intense! Once you find that person you feel so accepted by and share all your secrets it is normal to want to be closer with them.
He may have not responded because it is not a good text convo. I wouldn't say it is because you are "just work" to him. Therapists definitely care...but they have to be delicate about how they handle specific matters. I bet he'll touch on this subject next time you see him. I know it is hard.
Hang in there
