Unfinished/unsent text message disappears

On my iPhone 16.5 when I have a text message about ready to send and a new message comes and I click to see it, when returning to complete the text message not yet sent it is no where to be found.

This situation has happened to me a few times and it is frustrating - of course it has to be when I have a long message too!!!

Is there any way I can get that unfinished and unsent message back?

iPhone 11, iOS 16
