@nomadatlatl there is a part of speech in english called a preposition. these words are usually used before phrases and clauses to express a relationship between them.
in this case, you're linking "sorry" and "writing." it answers the question thusly: "i'm sorry." what are you sorry *for*? "for not writing you."
the same thing for the second sentence (though, in this case, "that" is a relative pronoun.
"don't forget" don't forget *what*? "that i'm always thinking of you"
you can read further on relative pronouns and prepositions online.
