novel
I'm sorry I can't give a lot of context as I just have a short extract from a novel to translate. It's quite difficult without knowing what the whole thing is about. This is the paragraph which it appears in:
'A mi mente llegan aceleradas multitud de ideas, de cosas que haría y aquellas que quedarían por hacer si muriera hoy. Los tequieros mudos al aire, los abrazos huecos, los besos amargos, las caricias frías, las miradas de lejos que siempre quisieron notar el aliento. Los perdones sin acuse de recibo, los recibos en blanco por no haberme atrevido. Las conversaciones que dejaría pendientes.'
Thanks

that always longed to feel warm breath
...eyes looking from afar that always longed to feel warm breath/to feel the warmth of breath.
It would better if you knew who the 'aliento' belonged to and you could add a pronoun (feel his warm breath/feel the warmth of my breath).
One definition of 'aliento' is the air a person exhales when they breathe.

the looks from afar which never felt the warm breath of encouragement they desired
I have expanded this a little to try and include all the meaning encapsulated in the source.
