    Answer

    Deear Katcas09, you've photographed a species of Galium (bedstraw). I can't see the number of leaves per whorl well enough to tell if this is Galium aparine (scratch bedstraw) or Galium triflorum (fragrant bedstraw). If you are able to get clear images of the leaves at some nodes, I could help you further. Best wishes.
