I think I would tell him how good it feels to love him, and how good it feels to feel loved by him. I mean that's is the essence of it isn't it?
I'll never forget when I was raging at my T for something - I can't even remember what - and I told him that there was no love in therapy, that everything was just a lie.
He just quitely said, that there was no therapy without love.
Talk about how good love can feel, but I would be very clear what you expect from him and what you expect for yourself.
In order for this love to exist it must have boundaries, but given that, it can be very bracing, supportive and good.
