CSS Grid Rows to have different widths

Question

I am having an issue with css grids. I am wondering if it is possible to have different widths for each of my grid rows.

My grid is set up as follows:

.section.section--3 .text {
    display: grid;
    justify-content: center;
    padding: 0 10% 0;
    text-align: center;
}

So I basically want my heading, paragraph and button nested inside my text div to have different widths without using max-width and not fill the entire row. Reason being my button should resize in width dynamically based on the length of the text inside.

my HTML is as follows:

<div class="text">
    <h2 class="text__item item--heading">
        Heading
    </h2>
    <p class="text__item item--paragraph">
        Paragraph
    </p>
    <a href="#" class="text__item item--button button button--primary">
        Button
    </a>
</div>

This image illustrates basically what I want to achieve.

Yes it is possible, and in so many different ways.

Let me show one:

.grid {
  
  display: grid;
  
  grid-template-columns: 20% 60%; /* Column width size here*/
  grid-template-rows: 100px 200px; /* Row height size here*/
  
  grid-column-gap: 10px;
  grid-row-gap: 10px;
}

.item.a{
  background-color: red;
}

.item.b{
  background-color: green;
}

.item.c{
  background-color: blue;
}

.item.d{
  background-color: yellow;
}

<div class="grid">
  <div class="item a"></div>
  <div class="item b"></div>
  <div class="item c"></div>
  <div class="item d"></div>
</div>
