Your
smiles
waves
at me
keep me happy
i don’t know if they will ever come to something
but i still treasure them
i keep them with me
while everyone insults me
they keep me
Sane

I guess it's love then. 

But when I think of him, I don't think I love you(because I don't think I'm ready for that, I think of I adore you, I respect you...etc

Infatuation you care for their looks and get over them in a month.  With love they have the power to break you, or save you.

Thank you. 

Because I keep doubting whether it's love or infatuation.

Yes it is.  If they are the cane you lean on in the day and the dream you fall asleep to in the night, then it is love.

Thanks!:)

I'm pretty sure that the person I am talking about doesn't think of me the way I think of him.

It's unrequited. :(

I say, yes, it is love.

What makes me so sure is the glowing affection in the poem for the "smiles" and their affect on you. This is a joyful little piece, and I'm glad I came across it.

Uh..Ok.

But that has nothing to do with the poem or is that the way you relate to it?

Yeah, I kinda agree with you. But I don't think that grammar matters in poetry. :)
