You're right, I was wrong, I didn't look well at the leaves at the top of the plant. They look a bit like wormwood leaves, but I will refrain from further guesses.
Not necessarily one of the two Veronica the bot named, but I do think it's a Veronica.
The round leaves on the lower parts of the stem are what lead to the false identification as a Thymus. But these can also occur on Veronica, depending on the species, and are more likely on the lower parts of the stem as we see in your image.
On the uppermost part of the highest stem (left side of the picture, pointing towards your hand), you can see the typical lobe shapes of many Veronica species' leaves, one type with broad lobes and one type with more pointy shapes.
For reference I'm in Australia and there's been lots of rain in the last months, and I collected this from a place that is very humid soil and no sun at all ever.

Definitely not chickweed (stellaria media)

Automatic identification via PlantNet summary
Most likely match: Thymus pulegioides L.
Beep, boop
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Well I plant lots of thyme unsuccessfully so I just moved this into a pot. Just in case.

Maybe some kind of speedwell.

Compare with Stellaria media.

Compare to these broad-lobed leaves in V. hederifolia: https://www.blumeninschwaben.de/Zweikeimblaettrige/Rachenbluetler/P1980308_x.jpg ...
As for the species, I couldn't say, Veronica is not easy IMO^^

Parsley?
schmorpel@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 250d
No, with certainty not parsley. Probably chickweed (Stellaria media), photo and specimen are a bit difficult to work with.

If I crush the leaves it smells kinda like peas.
I think this is not from something I planted.

Are the hairs on alternating sides of each stem section between the leaf nodes? Is a bit hard to tell from the picture?
Can you get any pictures of the flowers or buds yet?
