There is no means to restore a deleted text message. If you had iCloud messages disabled and had a backup from prior to the deletion and were willing to restore and revert the entire contents of your iPhone to that backup, maybe. If you had iCloud messages enabled, or didn’t have a recent backup, or aren’t willing to revert the entire contents of the iPhone, no.

Ask the recipient to send screenshots?
