They both know what they have will not last.
They both know what they have cannot last.
They both have their reasons for coming together.
They both have their reasons for sharing their bodies with one another.
They both know that when the day comes for them to walk away from one another they will do so without regret.

They both know coming together was a disaster.
They both know that when they do walk away from one another they will have more scars to add to their collection.
