Hunjeri Who

I have been going through the online clocks 
searching for you
you seem to have disappeared in the pages unknown
I can't seem to find you
you, the one that made me believe in a timeless wonder
seems to be ticking away somewhere else
guilty, I the guilty poet 
I disappeared too into a world that I thought catered for me
and I took several with me

But it's not the same
there is always a first love
there is always that one kiss from that one person
that feels different 
that is just right

You, the online stranger
what is your real name anyway?
i allowed you to whisper the lyrics that sprouted from the many inks in you
i laughed and I cried
a lot of lol's and wow's 
a lot of why didn't I come up with that 
but only you could say it so well

As I continue to engage in the past participle
of your memories
i wish you well
i wish you the best wherever you are
and I can't wait for your comeback 

The beauty of this thing is,
this first love goes beyond age and race
it's the page that blossoms even in the unconceived time
