Answer The author made Simon say that to foreshadow that Simon would not get home alright/ at all. This is true, but this also means that Ralph will be the only person that will be able to return to his true self after they get off of the island.

Notice that Simon specifies YOU to Ralph. Later on, Simon and Piggy are both killed by Jack and his tribe. Out of the "three blind mice" (an earlier allusion). Only Ralph survives to be rescued.

Simon is very perceptive and was almost get the impression that he can foresee the future. He tells Ralph that he'll get back alright because Ralph is the only person on the island who didn't die or join the savages.

Simply as reassurance and also perhaps because Simon recognises that the resilience and adaptability of Ralph will probably see him through whatever difficulties the island throws at him.
