Light is coming from the light bulb and bouncing off of you.

Some of the light that bounces off of you, bounces off the mirror and back into your eyes.

The light bounces off the mirror is such a way that your eyes think that the light is coming from a person that is on the opposite side of the mirror.

That is to say your eyes and your brain think that the light is coming directly from an object instead of bouncing off a mirror.

At the risk of getting technical, the reason is that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
