Why are Poland and Lithuania currently separate countries?

The Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was partitioned by the Germans, Austrians, and Russians. But since both countries have gained their independence. What has stopped them from reforming their commonwealth, and is it even something the two countries want?

Not to discourage further discussion, but this earlier answer from u/yodatsracist (proving very useful today, second time I've linked it) may help with your question.
Why is Lithuania such a small country?
