you intended to say "to you and me," the pronouns being the objects of the preposition. Prepositions such as
to, from, between cause pronouns to take the objective case, not the subjective -- me, not I, them not they.
"Pooooor Professor Higgins...Night and day he slaves a-way, oh poooor Professor Higgins!"
In a word, pronouns
decline in English (and most other languages, including Esperanto, which has about as many moving parts as an anvil). You wouldn't say
to I, and you still wouldn't even with another pronoun in the works. The confusion seems to come from
you remaining unchanged.
