In a sneak peek from Thursday's The Vampire Diaries episode, "Death and the Maiden," Jeremy comes to Bonnie bearing news regarding Amara. It's not encouraging.

"It turns out it's not gonna be that easy to keep Amara alive," he says.

With Bonnie worrying about whether it will hurt when the Other Side is destroyed forever, an emotional Jeremy has three things to tell his longtime love ...

1. "This is not a goodbye," even if it feels like exactly that.
2. "Thank you for giving your life up for me." Aww.
3. ...

We'll have to wait and see on #3, because Bon-Bon cuts him off. If they leave that last part hanging, then there will be a next time. Or so she says.

Just go with it, okay Jer?
