It just occurred to me that we can omit "been", although I think that most people keep "been".

It's a long time since we (first)(last) met.

THank you so much

How about this?

It's been a long time since we met last time? Is it also wordy?

mr1bin It's been a long time since we met last time? [N] awkward and wordy... I don't think any native speaker would say that.
'It's (been) a long time since the last time we met.' grammatical but more wordy than necessary (eg. "time" used twice)
