Yes, it's hard not to love someone who is so attuned to you and so committed to your welfare. There is another layer, maybe the transference one, that sees him/her as the embodiment of the love or support that you'd like to receive from anolther person. We can learn a lot from paying attention to that aspect of the relationship. It can be hard to separate the two, but it's a useful task in therapy.
