愛する人

Explanation:
I expect a lot of alternative answers, and this is one of those options.

FYI, "愛人" is a different term, which might mean "mistress", so be careful!

That depends..

Explanation:
Though daisuke's answer is linguistically correct, I'm not sure if it's culturally correct, because most Japanese are so shy that they often refrain from saying this sort of thing.

Instead, Japanese women usually say あなた, which simply means "you". Men say おまえ.

If you want to be more formal, or if you're writing a poem or some sort of literature, you could say 愛しい人 or 愛しいあなた for more linguistical correctness. But it all depends on the situation and what type of mood you wish to create.
