Recover iMessage not sent

I typed a lengthy message and had not sent it when I answered a call. During the call I received notification regarding a different message. After the call ended the typed message is gone. Can it be recovered?

If you were responding to an existing thread then the message will still be there. Otherwise the message is gone, there is no draft folder like emails.
