I'd say you are definitely not oversensitive. I too am in a long distance relationship right now. I agree that words are very important to maintain a feeling of closeness and intimacy. It can be very hard when one person has more time for those things than the other. I think it's important to just try and remember that your SO still loves you and cares for you even if they don't always have the time for long conversations or extensive emailing.
I think there are two things that are very important in a long distance relationship. The first is making sure that you talk about every day things like what you did and the people you're around and stuff. The 2nd is to replace the lack of physical contact with mushy emails and phone conversations. I know you weren't talking specifically about phone sex, but I do think that's equally important for maintaining a feeling of closeness.
