It is considered a complete sentence when said in reference to something else! So within the context, the meaning is implied. You can also continue the sentence if you feel it is appropriate. Ex: A: "You made me so angry!" B: "Sorry, I didn't mean to." Ex: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you angry."
