If she had taken her heart out before, then it might have been because she didn't 'have feelings of love' but she still had her heart so she was not his true love. Thank goodness. Well, I guess that in order for it to be true love, such that a curse can be broken, both people must love each other more than anything else (except other relatives, apparently)*. Cora clearly loved power more than she loved Rumple, so it was love, but not true love.


 * I made this specification because Mary Margaret loves Emma as much as her husband, yet she broke David's sleeping curse; and Rumple loves both Baelfire and Belle, yet her kiss was working in FTL.
