歲月不再年少，時光不會流轉，青春亦不會永駐。

青春的萌動來臨了，那便是心上生花，長草……

~~題記

郭敬明說"青春，是一道明媚的憂傷！"恰到好處呢。哪一個人的青春不是在淡淡的憂傷中度過？回憶起那些細枝末節的時候，嘴角總是不自覺的輕揚，仿佛自我解嘲般的，看著，當年的自己有多傻。

看著那些逝去的風景，總是感概這世間的多變，稍微一個岔口，便把兩個完全不同的道路展現在人們眼前，迷惑著世人，讓世人們總是難以抉擇。其實人生不過是幾次至關重要的選擇。然而一個選擇通常只有幾秒鐘，剩下的時間不過在為自己的選擇還債。

"青春，猶如懸在頭頂的滴瓶，看著裏面的液體消失殆盡，卻無能為力。"在那一尾青春"夕陽"也"落山"的時候，睜大眼睛，伸著手臂，卻永遠夠不到山的那頭，山的那頭！

是誰說"少年不識愁滋味"?我看少年最識愁滋味，但那滋味永遠是淡淡的，純純的，就像是純淨水，喝著毫無味道，裏面卻含著多種礦物質，猶如青春萌動的那些情愫。

少年如花，青年便是如詩、如畫。十七歲的我們已懂得人間冷暖，心情陰晴，默默的關注著，誰也不想去揭破那一層紗---就讓它蒙著，美好而充實。

如今我們在高二拼搏，在微微的抱怨之餘，便是默默地接受。從此，不再飛揚跋扈，細細的磨平了那棱、那角，畢竟，玩世不恭，並不是我想要的生活，我只想青春活的更加充實。

喜歡藍色和白色的事物，合著自己的心情；喜歡喝純淨、無雜質的純淨水，符合自己的心境；喜歡聽淡淡的音樂，就像是無痕的青春；喜歡寫憂傷的文字，寫下自己的青春。淡淡的，如純淨水一般的文字，卻能灼燒每個青年的心、不學他們的"個性",穿著"風雨飄搖"的衣裳；不學他們的"瘋狂追求",為了某某明星，失去生命也可以；不學他們的"招搖過市",頂著五顏六色的頭大，稱之為流行、時尚，不學不學，那便是我的青春。

我的青春，淡淡的，可以源遠流長。

想到自己的青春，曾以為連死都忘不了的情感，卻在這念念不忘中遺忘。一度嘲笑自己記憶力，卻不曾想過是自己內心深處那股想要忘卻的力量支配著行動。那一年的青春深刻，銘記。那時老師告訴我，桔梗花很漂亮，紫色的五角星花瓣，但是他們的美麗很少有人看見。最終歸宿只有一個，那邊是花瓣枯萎，剩下千瘡百孔的根，再被炮制成藥材。因此，桔梗花的花語是：憂傷、無望的愛。

書上常說，不要再十六歲的時候談戀愛，因為那個人會是你最深愛的人。可書上卻沒說，那個你最深愛的人，未必深愛著十六歲的你。

至今，時過境遷，面對失去的青春唯有致敬。青春在一指流沙間流逝，留下淡淡的痕跡，但隨著時間的過往，青春留痕，青春亦是了無痕。

致我們失去的青春，那一年，青春無痕。  

Not content with claiming Trent Merrin's "cheap shot" on Brent Tate summed up NSW's disrespect for his all-conquering team, Queensland captain Cameron Smith compared it with Danny Williams' infamous 2004 king hit that earned a record 18-week ban.

Smith said a humble Queensland had built their State of Origin dominance on a respect for their opposition - a quality he did not see when Merrin punched Tate in the face as he looked down to receive the ball at dummy half in game two reenex.

Merrin received one week for the blow - but Smith said it reminded him of ex-Melbourne teammate Williams' sickening NRL career-ending hit on Mark O'Neill nine years ago.

"The last person who threw a punch like that in a game when the bloke wasn't looking got 16 (sic) weeks," said Smith after an unchanged Queensland 17 was named for next week's Origin decider in Sydney.

"It was Danny Williams and I was involved in that game.

"Punching a bloke when he is looking at the ground, that's a cheap shot if you have ever seen one.

"I guess that would be one instance of (NSW) not showing respect for the opposition."

Smith hinted Queensland had been given plenty of ammunition to sledge their rivals but had instead humbly built their remarkable run of seven straight Origin series wins that goes on the line next week.

"The reason I believe we have been so successful is that we have always shown NSW respect," said Smith lace and embroidery.

"It doesn't matter what the media or public are saying - and they (NSW) have copped a fair bit of stick over several years.

"But we have always shown those guys respect when we have gone out on the field.

"If you don't respect a team, you are going to get beaten."

Smith also seemed unimpressed with NSW's post-match reaction to the second half incident that prompted Merrin's game two punch.

Blues halfback Mitchell Pearce initially hinted at exacting revenge on Billy Slater after copping a stray elbow to the face from the Maroons trump card in a tackle.

Slater was cleared over the incident but Pearce later told reporters: "Hopefully I'll get him back."

Reports emerged that Slater told Pearce after the elbow incident "one-all (expletive)", indicating it was a get-square for an Origin I incident.

"There's been much made of that incident but as I said to the referee on the night, it was a stray elbow," Smith said.

"That happens every second tackle ... it just happened to hit him in the face.

"Billy obviously hasn't read too much into it.

"All of the noise is coming from down south."
