Add the float-left class (Bootstrap 4) to the img :)

edit : Cassidy's answer above is a more elegant, bootstrap-centric fix if that's a better fit for what you're doing.

With your img and p tags in the same container, you can control them relative to one another, using float to position them as you've described.

Using the markup you provided, I've created a jsfiddle with some additions. Of course I've had to make a couple assumptions about what you'd like to do, but in this example is a working "wrap" of some text, around an image.

Basically, I've put both elements as siblings inside of a div, and have floated both elements to the left, allowing the larger text on the right to wrap around the img.

Snippet:

img.float_text_left {
  float: left;
  clear: none;
  margin: 15px;
}
span.float_text_right p {
  width: 65%;
  height: auto;
  float: left;
}
