How Do I Open His Eyes?

I know him by heart,
I savour every moment of him,
right here inside me.
But he doesn't see,
He only sees the child that he knew,
A memory.
The seasons have flown,
The gentle breeze of childhood has passed
and at last i know its him that i need
i'm only truly real when he's here, and near me.
the world is madness when he looks at me.

And the air turns into fire,
And the sky falls down around us.
I would run to him and hold him,
He'd never let me go.
But I can't move,
And I can't speak.
I'm overthrown by silence.

Now he is walking into danger,
I don't want him to go,
All I know is if he leaves,
I'll never be who he needs,
Who he loves.

and the air will turn to fire,
and the sky will hang unmoving,
I can't run to him or hold him,
He'll never even know.
I can't prove it,
I just feel it.
I need to stop him leaving.
