Summer died when Ruby was a very, very young child. Ruby is currently 15 years old. If she was still grieving after over a decade, that would be extremely unhealthy.

Yang said that Ruby was extremely torn up over Summer being gone, though she was too young to completely understand what happened. In the song, Ruby (played by Casey, of course) sounds very childish, like she doesn't really understand and blames Summer for being gone. She sounds like she doesn't understand that a promise will not prevent someone from dying. Just because Summer swore she'd return, it doesn't mean that promise would protect her from being killed.

Summer died on a mission, so she was probably killed by Grimm while trying to protect people, hence "You're not the only one who needed me. I thought you understood."
