I keep on reading and hearing that. What does it mean? And why is the phrase like that? Is it slang?

It means "I miss you alot." Somehow, over time, that saying's taken on new forms - I miss you tons, I miss you buckets, I miss you heaps, I miss you an insane amount, I insanely miss you. It was as though "I miss you" wasn't good enough - people wanted to qualify exactly how much missing was happening. Heaps is a lot, sort of close to a barrel or pile. It's cute; it just means they miss you more than a little bit. I wouldn't call it slang; maybe just different expressions for different groups of people.

Yes, it's just an expression for 'missed you a lot' - a rough indication of measurement of the depth of the emotion of missing someone's presence. I think it's being so overused that it has little relevance to how someone actually feels about another person any more.

Tu me manques or I miss you - Typical problem - just in one case "you" is the object and in teh other case "you" is the subject - I felt the need of YOU (object) YOU ( subject) created in me a feeling of frustration because you were elsewhere same thing "english choice" in german - Ich vermisse dich and "french choice" in russian - t'i minia nie khvataiesh

I'd say, "missed you lots", and yes it is slang.
