My interpretation:

This last stanza seems to show the inevitable (unavoidable) regret that the speaker has ➡️ because in the first place he could not decide, then even after he decided, he still regrets his decision because he will never know which was the best path for him.

This poem ultimately shows that when it comes to certain tough irreversible decisions in our lives, we will never really know the outcome either way and we might not be sure about which path is the best ➡️ but we will feel regret about the things that we didn't do or the things that we never tried in life.

these lines seem to be contradicting because he "kept the first for another day" yet he says he "doubted if he should ever come back"

why so contradictory?

so he is telling himself that he can always come back but he is not sure actually he is very doubtful that he would able redo this choice

"trodden black" ??????

trodden means stepped on

no step had stepped on the path ➡️ making it black

The word showing that its the same

Another phrase where he's trying to convince himself that it's 'really about the same'

Similar to "the other, as just as fair"

He's saying that maybe the path he chose might be the better choice

The use of this word ➡️ highlights his uncertainty

Here in this line, it shows that the speaker decided to take "the other" path (he was justifying that it is "just as fair")

The speaker / character in the poem seems to be thinking carefully because he was so indecisive and unsure which path to choose ➡️ he doesnt want to take the wrong path so he tries his best to examine the road ahead because he's trying to guess what lies ahead / his future

He wants to take his time to make a proper decision so that he can avoid the regret of missing out the other road ➡️ idea of FOMO?

Sorry I could not travel both

Seems to imply that he was uncertain / unsure about what path to take + the idea that he was possibly regretful

He is describing the other path while debating between the two
