It's Not What, But How

It's not what someone said
But how it made you feel

It's not what you have achieved
But how you succeeded

It's not what you own
But how you obtained it

It's not what you dream
But how to make them come true

It's not what memories you have
But how many more to come

It's not what made you fall in love
It's how to keep the love alive
