According to wikipedia Childhood sweetheart is a reciprocating phrase for a relationship (but not a partnership) between young persons, traditionally of the opposite sex (girlfriend / boyfriend) occurring in their formative years (school age). This may come about by an extension of friendship, physical attraction or develop from natural affinity.
The relationship is usually platonic and lasts a short to medium period of time. The relationship may involve romantic love or may be an extension of a close friendship. Occasionally in later years, these friendships are 'rekindled' following separations or passing of their adult partners which lead to a later life marriage, union etc. These instances are notable as they are made popular by media coverage.
I don't have a childhood sweetheart but I still remember the first time i had a crush on someone. I was in kindergarten that time. He was my partner in all the activities we had. And when i was in high school i had my first love. He didn't become my first boyfriend but we become good friends.
When I was in college I met someone and become the best buddies I had. We live in the same roof and shares some secrets. I also witness how is her relationship with her long time boyfriend.
