In this tone of voice, it almost sounds like a threat or a reproach...

Why not "I love you, my beloved"? Does this sound too old-fashioned? :p
Other than the Toni Morrison novel, I have very rarely heard that word used in English, especially nowadays. It is quite old-fashioned indeed :)

You have to use it.That ''-im'' ,indicates that the person you talk about is YOUR lover and no one else's.
SevgiliM= my lover, SevgiliN= your lover SevgiliLERİ= their lover and so on.....

Okay, I understand. The translation above is darling. I wrote my love and it has been accepted as well. Pls. can you tell me when to use aşkim and when sevgilim? I think that is not the same thing.

Basically,''my love'' means ''aşkım'' and ''darling or my darling'' means ''sevgilim''.But their meaning is almost the same,that is why your answer has been accepted, Turkish doesn't really make a difference between them.

Sevgilim means my boyfriend/girlfriend, you are right. But in this context it sounds a bit strange, you should say better "my darling".

So, is 'sevgilim' unisex? Could it be boyfriend/girlfriend? If yes, can it be 'lover'?

it is unisex. I believe saying "I love you, lover" is weird in English

No, I don't mean in this context. I mean like in "Onun sevgilisi nerede?", can it mean lover?
