Help in grep function or similar using awk

I have a list of id;

for example: file 1

dfghd
dfghe
dfgey
dfgeu

I have another data file that contain this ids as headers;

for ex. file2
>dfghd
gfdgfddl;klfkld;ld;lgl;dld'l'dv
>dfghe
gkwhjhsgdjdjdjhjddj
>dfgey
jdkjfhdjhfdkjhfdkhkdk

I wanted to compare file 1 and file 2 such a way that the output list the ids that are present in file 1 but not present in file 2.
For ex. the id 'dfgeu' is present in file 1 but its absent in file 2.

I want to have this id (dfgeu)which is missing in file 2 as header to be outputed.

Is there a way in awk to do this comparison of 2 files?

Please let me know.
