Using 我想你
想 covers both “to think of” and “to miss”, so 我想你 is “I miss you” — said to grandparents between visits, or to a parent away on a work trip. It is a warm video-call opener that grandparents answer with 我也想你了 (“I miss you too”).
The same 想 also means “to want to / feel like”: 我想去公园 (“I want to go to the park”). Context tells the two apart — before a person it is “miss”, before an activity it is “want”. The phrase is written identically in Traditional Chinese, so nothing to convert.
