Description My palms are sweaty
My heart's beating fast
I see you walk
Through the crowd
Headed my way

I can't stop staring
My eyes are drawn to you
From any way I look
I brush the hair from my face
To get a clearer view

You are moving closer
I start to get nervous
Do I look okay
What do I say
I wonder as I smile

You brush past me
Smile back but
Completely ignore me
Continue on your way
Why?

As my eyes follow you
I see you look back at me
While you walk
A strange look in your eye
A look like...what?

Wow, this is so totally what's happening to me!!!! You really captured the feeling of confusion. I heart it.
Just some suggestions:
I like to eliminate some pronouns, make it less prose, more poetry. That may make it more sharp and crisp.
Change "Why" to "Why?"
I also suggest taking out the final "what?" and placing a better word there.

Over all, good job! 7/10
