I would replace '. Because' with ', because', but I am not a teacher.

How about 'I seem to have feelings for you'?

Yes, that's grammatical and natural.

One comment: The two have slightly different shadings.

- It seems that suggests self-discovery. It's an announcement: As it turns out, I have feelings for you.

- I seem to is more tentative. It's a musing: Hm. What am I feeling? Do I have feelings for you?

Again, your rewrite is good.

Thank you your suggestion, matthew wait,

Does it make sense now?

I always dream of you at night when I fall asleep. I can't forget about you, even in my dreams, because I know I love you, I seem to have feelings for you.

I would add 'and' before 'I seem', but I am not a teacher.

IMO, if you know you love her, then you 'definitely' instead of 'seem to' have feelings for her.

There should be a period/full stop after "I know I love you".
