According to this Facebook topic it seems like there's no way of retrieving the message that was attached to the friend request.
As a last resort, if you have the original notification email still in your inbox, the message might be there?
You can now go to the friend requests page at https://www.facebook.com/friends/requests/ and select "View Sent Requests" which will take you to this page https://www.facebook.com/friends/requests/?fcref=ff&outgoing=1.
This should give you a list of friend requests you sent.
