I'm not sure Klingons understand the concept of love. I would guess -
qaparHa'
(
I don't dislike you
), or maybe
qamuSHa'
(
I don't hate you
). They do have a word for loved one (lover?), so perhaps
bangwI' Soh
(
you are my loved one
)?

The
-Ha'
suffix differs from
-be'
not
. It carries the idea of
undo
or
do wrongly
. So
qamuSHa'
would be closer to
I un-hate you
, which is a lot stronger than
I don't hate you
.
The idea of "love" in English can mean many things. To say "I love you" in Klingon, you need to be specific.
qaSaH
I care about you.
qaQorgh vIneH
I want to take care of you.
matay'DI' jInaQ
When we are together I am complete.
bangwI' SoH
You are my love.
toH 'oQqaroy, chonay'qang'a'?
So, dearest cabbage, will you become my wife?
Or something like that.

I was just translating from the French
mon chou
, which I'm told is a term of endearment.
