How do you say

My love for you

as in "remember my love for you"

Can you have a noun qualified by a dative amor meus tibi. It doesn't sound right.

Would you say amor meus in te or use the genitive (amor meus tui) or some other construction?

In te and erga te are the most common ways to put it. Tui seems possible in theory but I don't think I've ever seen it in combination with a possessive.

So "remember my love for you" would be:

memento amoris mei in te

as memini takes the genitive when it means remember fondly.

By the way, how to use memento properly? What's its contruction? Only takes the genitive?
