Perhaps you mean {bangwI' SoH}. {bangwI' jIH} means "I am my beloved."

I think you are right. {jIH bang SoH} sounds as bad in Klingon as it
would in English (You are me's beloved.)
Remember, {bang} is noun. If you need a verb for "love", the closest
thing you'll probably find is {muSHa'}.
qamuSHa'. chomuSHa'. qorDu' Quch maH Hoch.
(I love you. You love me. We're all a happy family....)
