It has been a long time since I met you last.
It has been a long time since my last meeting.
It has been a long time since the last met.
Which is right?
How should I say?

I would use "It has been a long time since we last saw each other."

It has been a long time since I met you last.

('since I last met you' also works and sounds more natural)
It has been a long time since my last meeting.

('since our last meeting' would work)
It has been a long time since the last met.
