Just serious enough without weighing down the soul, because I know the emotions this poem deals with aren't half as sweet and light hearted as the poem itself, but it never says they are. The metaphor is so accurate and your presentation so smooth and easy going... like a sweet, naive, young man from the fifties who falls in love with a twentieth century hooker. Your poem sounds like something he would say, but its not naive at all...its just perfect, I think. Great job.
