replace() function is not working without preceding space before emoji

[azharuniverse]

emojify.run() in v0.8.0 is working correctly. but using emojify.replace() in v1.0.5 is failing.

Not Working without using space

emojify.replace('sdfgsdfgasdf:smirk:zdffds:flushed::flushed:zsfd');
"sdfgsdfgasdf:smirk:zdffds:flushed::flushed:zsfd"

Working when space is inserted

emojify.replace('sdfgsdfgasdf :smirk:zdffds:flushed: :flushed:zsfd');
"sdfgsdfgasdf <img align='absmiddle' alt=':smirk:' class='emoji' src='http://localhost/res/emoji/smirk.png' title=':smirk:' />zdffds:flushed: <img align='absmiddle' alt=':flushed:' class='emoji' src='http://localhost/res/emoji/flushed.png' title=':flushed:' />zsfd"

Please fix this issue soon if possible. I am using it in my Chat Application. and without emojis chat is dry, tasteless. Also I don't want my users to be concerned about this space thing. I found your library very easy to integrate and useful. Please fix it if it can be fixed.

I have the same problem, please fix it.

I'm really sorry guys, if anyone can come up with a PR that'd be mighty helpful - I'm not sure any of the contributors have much spare time at the moment.
