Hi beautiful! In my dreams and in my life, you were the whole world. I want your kisses and love...I miss you more, my love....always!

In my opinion, without changing his words, this is exactly what he said.

Without changing his words I think he said "I miss you more than less..." which would be said in English as "I miss you more than a little"

Hi Vicente, not really.

echar de menos is a fixed expression which means to miss , so te echo más de menos means, I miss you more (than before), or I miss you a lot.

I miss you more than a little and I miss you a lot have the same meaning and if you want to say I miss you more than before it is usually said as "I miss you more than ever".

Hi Vicente! I totally get what you mean. I know that "i miss you a lot" has the same meaning but, "i miss you a lot" would actually be something like "te extraño mucho", right? Anyway, don't you think the phrase "te echo mas de menos" sounded kind of weird?

I know. As a native Spanish speaker, I think that if another native speaker would have written it, it would look different.
