帰省しても、心のふるさとへは戻れない。
Maybe everyone who has left home and gone back knows that feeling: you can always go back to your hometown but you can never really go back "home" again.

英作文
Walking up the slope, I found the house of my friend. I forgot her name. I would go to kindergarten with her. It was too far away for me to go alone. She was one year older than I.  I played with her and visited her house.

One day she moved somewhere with her family. So I didn't have any more memory of her.

The house's location is not sure but near my parents’ house. The area of her house has changed a lot. A lot of houses had been built up. So I could not find the slope leading to her house. I could not find her house. Turn to the left, and turn to the right, and turn to the left again. Then I must have reached her house.  But different house was there.

My memory might be wrong. Any way I can not really go back to "home" again.
