for now they're just two pieces of text in one div (like `
item1item2
`) – Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen Dec 27 '14 at 22:50

One option would be to use absolute positioning and just specify the right offset to 25% (or left to 75%). Add a class to "Item 2" with the following CSS:

.right-middle{
    position:absolute;
    right:25%;
}
