Scott already knows it's not permanent; reminding him of it isn't going to do anything. Besides, even if she's not physically with him, as long as he keeps her memory alive in his heart, it's like she really will be with him. And even once he goes back, and forgets her, it doesn't make the time they've shared together any less meaningful.
