"Not to have been in touch" or "not having been in touch"
I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know which of the following sentence is correct and natural in terms of grammar and accuracy. Plus, this is the first line of a letter that I would write to a friend who haven't been in touch for about two months. Therefore, please let me know if there is any issues with the used tense as well.
I am sorry for not having been in touch recently.
I am sorry not to have been in touch recently.
