4. I Miss You
Lonely
孤獨 means lonely, solitude, loneliness, and lonesome.
In some contexts, it can mean reclusive, isolated, single, or solo.
孤獨 is a Japanese word but not a good selection for a wall scroll.
In Chinese, this will relay a rather sad feeling to anyone who reads this calligraphy on your wall.
The version shown to the left is the Traditional Chinese and ancient Japanese version. In modern Japan and China they often use a different more simplified version of the second character (as shown to the right). If you want this Japanese/Simplified version, please click on the character shown to the right instead of the button above.
Alone / A Lone Person
獨自 is a Japanese word that means “alone” in the context of a person by himself/herself.

Lonely Soul / Solitary
形單影隻 is a Chinese idiom that means “lonely soul” if you are a solitary person, or a lost soul, this may be the title for you.
Miss You Forever
永遠想念你 is how to write “missing you forever” in Chinese.
