The Road You Should Have Taken

Two roads converged in a dark wood
And delighted I was to receive a companion and become two travelers
Long I stood and waited as much as I was able, until time stood me up

Then continued forward, trying not to care
And having perhaps a heart more lonely
Because it was full and wanted share
Though as for that desire there, still raged before roads converged

And both that morning, melancholy
My heart and the road not taken
Oh, how the hope within me, though eager, was sorry
Yet knowing the path from which I was coming, I doubted I’d see two roads again

There will still be tears in my eyes somewhere years down this way
Two roads converged in a dark wood
And I- I waited
But you never came
And that made all the difference
