Under the Porch Light

[ChristopherSea]

Personally, I don't see any reason to hide your meaning. Poetry is not about taking something that is obvious and making it obscure, besides the idea of two becoming one is at least as old as Genesis. It would also be "you and I", not "you and me".

Minor note - you and me and us is correct as the three form a compound object not a compound subject. An example of the two:

You and I and we drove a truck to the store.

A truck was driven over you and me and us.

It would never be you and I and us as that would mix the objective first person plural with the subjective first person singular.

It is such a common mistake that many of us make. A good example of how to sort it milo.
