I hold you???

No. I hold you dear (idiom).

Well that's a rather formal idiom to use here, I think.
The meaning of it is not exactly "I like you very much", but something more like: "I consider you of great value"

I know we sometimes get tired of translating the same sentences over and over, but I would stick to the old "I like you very much".
