How long has this been going on, and what's going on in her life? It makes a big difference if she's taking finals, or doing something else stressful and time-consuming. If that's what's going on, I'd just wait until it's over. But if it's been going on more than a couple weeks, you might want to say something like "It seems like we talk less than we used to, and I miss that." It's entirely possible to do without sounding 'needy'.
And I should probably add that sometimes it's okay to sound needy. I'm away from my gf this summer, and about a week into it, I called a good friend of mine to talk about how lonely I was feeling. This good friend of mine basically said, "Well, I'm happy to listen to this and everything, but you should really call *her*." And she was right. Part of being in a relationship is being willing to admit you're needy.
