It's the feeling you experience when you are starting to fall in love with someone. The first letter "L" and I think the second letter is "U."
A couple weeks ago I saw the word on TV. The story was about how people mistake that feeling for true love.
Limerence?
A brief google brings up a lot of articles with title like "love, lust, or limerence?" which is where you might be getting the U from.
