The answer of texugo  See profile was rated best

"Missing you" or "I miss you"

My comment:

Saudade is a noun meaning "longing" or "bittersweet longing" or sometimes "nostalgia". Tenho saudades de voce, means "I miss you". Just "saudades" is kind of a short goodbye form in letters, rather like "missing you"

The asker's comment:

All the answers were pretty much the same- I've rated yours best as you gave information about the term 'saudades' and pointed out that it was a shortened form. But all the people who answered should get a point! Thanks to all, Karen
