If you ask the same question about numbers it seems that maybe

without one of them the number 2 can count another pair. But can
2 exist if there are no pairs to count, or no counters to identify
pairs?
Number 2 is a relational property of all pairs. I don't think that a
property can exist without that which it is a property of. It is the
meaning/nature of property to be a property of something. All pairs
exist eternally, just like number 2 and everything else.
All the pairs I know of, my shoes, my gloves, my dogs,... do NOT exist
eternally. And they are only conceived of as pairs because I and other
people nominate such.
