the road not taken - robert frost

two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry i could not travel both
and be one traveler long i stood
and looked down, as far as i could
to where it bent in the undergrowth

then took the other, as just as fair
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same

and both that morning equally lay
in leaves no step had trodden black
oh! i kept the first for another day
yet knowing how way leads on to way
i doubted if i should ever come back

i shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
two words diverged in a yellow wood, and i
i took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference

my all time favorite poem.

so here i would like to thank lazy f, for somehow gives me some idea on how to approach this problem. a big THANK YOU to you for actually reading all the posts and for all your comments. appreciate it so much!

p/s i told him what i think of all these things. and he said he would talk to his friend. but somehow i don't think that's a good idea. especially now, when he's still pinning for his ex-girlfriend. see how nice i am!!~~
