Black Coffee

You'd like that adventure, 

Wouldn't you?

You'd like to

Open your eyes to see 

The limbs of a stranger

Tangled with your own.

You'd like to 

Take your coffee black

In a city full of strangers.

You'd like to

Fall in love through 

Glances on the subway.

But perhaps you'd only like

Photographs

And stories from

The comfort of familiarity.

Because

Of course

You don't even like

Black coffee.

I cannot give you adventure,

But I stay on my side of the bed

And I'm scared of subways

And I'd be happy to ask

If you'd like cream in your 

morning cup of conversation.

[Patient Poet (Yos)]

I love your style , I love the last stanza .... I love black coffee... no cream :)

[Dale Pavolko]

[You'd like to] is overused here. Other than that good job. I enjoyed the read.I however love black coffee and would kill to get it if denied other options.
I am a fan of cream so perhaps you could come up with an additional use for it.

I think this is a very sweet and cute poem, and I really enjoyed the ending. My only problem with it is that the breaks make it seem a little bit choppy. So I would suggest slightly altering them (even though it'll make the lines longer) so that it flows a little bit easier. Then again, to each their own. :)
