I guess "true love" is either impossible or questionable when you are very young...
...but when I read the title of this thread I immediately thought of ChristineT who was my one and only love from kindergarden through 6th grade. I did everything I could to be near her, went up the sliding board ladder behind her, stood next to her during spelling bees, traded with other boys to make sure I was always her partner for everything, went to the public library after school to do my homework with her (she lived right across the street from the library), etc. Everybody in class knew and cooperated, even the teachers who eventually just paired us up for school plays etc. When she had a birthday party in second grade she invited all the girls in class and me, the only boy there; I was quite shy but really liked that; and this all went down like this not because I was sort of a girly boy or socialized more with the girls than the boys, quite the contrary. In about 4th or 5th grade I recall very clearly sitting next to her in class and literally getting orgasmic over playing footsies with her, just touching our feet together. By 6th grade though I noticed she was getting more interested in older guys in high school and it eventually sunk in that I had to move on ...it was painful and I cried, but then I met the "other Christine" ChristineC who was my second gf ....other than a big soft spot for MariaM who sometimes did homework with CT and I at the library and she always wanted to race me around the block outside the library since she could run faster than me.
I doubt you really meant this to be childhood sweetheart stuff, but that's what I thought of, pleasant memories. When we had our 25th reunion from elementary school graduation, I hoped she'd come but she couldn't make it. But the other girls called her on the phone and we talked ...it was nice.
