I think actual usage examples will better help you understand the differences. In these examples, "said" means written or spoken. ~"I miss you." ...Said (by phone) to someone who is not there. ...You miss them right now, as you speak. ...Or, said with a qualifier, to someone who has returned: ...~"When you are not here, I miss you." ~"I have missed you." ...Said to a person who has now returned. ...Said to a person who is still away. ...You are stating your feeling up to that point in time. ~"I missed you." ...Said to a person who is now back. ...Your feeling is in the past. ...Or, said with a qualifier to someone who is still away: ...~"I missed you for a long time, but not anymore." Ah, the beautiful simplicity of a single " 我想你。"
