Personally, I'd call this a narrative poem, or a "prose poem". But I suppose "Other" is a fine place for it. Whatever this is, I quite like it. And I'm going to dissent from the majority opinion here and say that I like the "on your shirt" line. It implies that his expressions are bigger than his face, or that she's scrutinizing his features at a higher level of detail than you would expect from across the coffee shop.
The warmth of your presence is felt by the sudden burning of my face
Now this line seems awkward when I read it out loud. I'd try streamlining it a bit. Maybe "My face suddenly burns from the warmth of your presence."
Other than that, I have no suggestions. Good job and keep writing!
