You and I

Singular pronouns both you and I
Each living a singular, lonely life
Why had we, the sum of you and I,
The plural pronoun never arrived?

We would have loved in the nominative
Love would have found us in the accusative
A love that would have been ours in the genitive
Had love came to us in the dative

We may be a plural grammatical unit
But a single word in black and white
Unlike you and I, two singular grammatical units
Forever separate entities to speak of and write

Two singular pronouns both you and I
The sum of which never materialized
But even if only in syntax and semantics
Even if only as linguistics
I think we would have been truly romantic
And we would have been immortalized
