Katara had always wanted him. But he was a prince and she was a slave. Slaves did not get princes. Even if said princes had been kind, even protected her at times.
She's just a slave. She doesn't deserve Zuko. His fiancée does though.
Mai. She's all lithe limb, noble upbringing. And Zuko, while he cares about Katara, it's no secret he loves Mai heart and soul.
But he's only noticed Katara when he had no other choice. He doesn't see her.
So he'll never know her, never love her the way she loves him.
Song: Be in Love
