Mirar as a noun???

Mirar as a noun???

I've seen the infinitive verb mirar as a noun, but all the dictionaries only list it as a verb. Would it mean something like the act of seeing? Because it was like "tu mirar" so "your act of looking"?

Noun: A word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things common noun, or to name a particular one of these proper noun.

Mirar is the act of looking but "tu mirar" make reference of the eyes (of the person in question).

Example: Me enamoré de tu mirar.

All infinitives can be used as nouns, but you won't see them listed as such in dictionaries.
