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。"
