Rumplestiltskin chose to keep his powers, over loving Belle. He has always chosen power over love. That is why he lost Baelfire, in the first place.

The moral of Beauty and the Beast, is that beauty is found within. The problem with Rumbelle, while intriquing at first, is that it is a cross between Stockholm Syndrome and Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome. It is an unhealthy and abusive relationship, that masquerades as true love. What do you mean that kiss didn't work? It did work. Rumple only realised what happened, so he stopped kissing Belle. The kiss did work, it only didn't last long enough to break the curse. Didn't you see his face change?
