He knew that a single decision could bring a massive change in the future and he didn't want to have any regrets about that. He was not sure which one would be the best choice.

We hope that this answer solves your query.

The poet takes a long time to make his decision because he was confused about which road should be chosen. As he was only one traveller, so he could not travel both the roads. Thus, he takes a long time in taking a decision which could change his whole journey.
