We all know that a diamond is more precious to man than all the regular pebbles, gravel and stones out there. SO if a diamond can look like an ordinary rock we can easily overlook it.
This refers to people being like rough diamonds. You can be so busy searching for stones, or 'those things in life that you want that you fail to recognize that one person in your life is more precious than all the stones you could ever find. It could relate also to dating and having a close friend who is in love with you but you don't know and you date one after the other in search of the best match for you when the best one is right under your nose and you just don't recognize it. Then when the friend decides to move one, that is how you 'lose the diamond' while busy searching for stones, ordinary guys who will never be as perfect for you as the one you just lost.
