Hook was leading the carefree existence of a pirate's life with his first love was ripped from him. From that moment on, he was consumed with the desire for revenge. He was finally able to let go of it when he thought Bae was killed. He was determined to redeem himself in NL. When Emma kissed him, he realized she was the one. Everything he did from there on out, he did for Emma. When he lost her to the curse, he tried to return to his old life. But in betraying Ariel, he betrayed himself. Then he gave up the thing he loved most to get back to Emma.

When Hook kisses Emma in NYC, he knows she's the one but Emma hasn't accepted it yet. It wasn't until they went on their journey and she finally accepted SB as her home that things started to crack open. Then she realizes that Hook brought her home twice. And when she finds out he traded the Jolly Roger for her, that he put her first, everthing slides into place. At this moment, they've finally found True Love. i understand that you may like the relationship  but you can't just make something it's not. yeah they may care for eachother, they may even love eachother but that doesn't mean that they have true love. it was never stated in the show or ever proven unlike everyother couple of true love. even if you believe the reason true love kiss didn't work on emma because of her loss of memories like like snow that is wrong because snow didnt know who david was she just knew who she was before dvid broke her curse. also even if it was because she didn't remember her past with hook why didn't true love kiss break the curse zelena cast on hook. the saying is true loves kiss can break any curse. bottom line it doesn't matter if you remember your true love or don't accept your true love  the kiss should still work because you are eachothers true love
