Personal Space

I saw him from a distance
 then suddenly he was near
 standing within my circle here
 eyeing my every move and turn cleared.

I stepped back and away
 but he remained unswayed.

Lightly did he touch my arm
 and stepped closer in
 smiled as if I should know him
 as I pushed back in my spin.

A governor he claimed
 when he introduced his name.

So what, I thought and smiled
 ready to take my leave as planned
 when he clasped my face in his hands
 I simply said I am no fan.

He said I was aggressive
 but he was the one quite obsessive.

Pushing back, I stepped away
 he claimed he didn't mean it that way
 asking for a kiss to my surprise and dismay
 I walked away, refusing his game to play.
 
Respect me please when I say no
 from my personal space, leave and go
 Governo Coumo.
