Default Align one paragraph text left and one right

Hi all,

I am trying to justify a paragraph left of the screen (justified) and another tabbed across a little bit to the right (left justified) connected with a leader at the top, like so. (The ____ part is supposed to be white space, this forum is not posting like I originally typed it)

First paragraph, first paragraph,...........Second paragraph, second paragraph,
First paragraph, first paragraph,_______Second paragraph, second paragraph,
First paragraph, first paragraph,_______Second paragraph, second paragraph,
First paragraph, first paragraph,_______Second paragraph, second paragraph,
First paragraph, first paragraph._______Second paragraph, second paragraph.

The only way I can manage this at the moment is to use columns, but they insert a section break, which I do not want. If the first paragraph is only on the one line it is fine, I can use a hanging indent to isolate the second paragraph, but if the first paragraph goes over multiple lines I don't know what to do. I have to enter a carriage return for each line, type the next line of the first paragraph and then tab across for the second paragraph which is scrappy - and I can't justify the left hand side text that way.

Could someone please advise on how I can achieve this without using columns please?
