Mirror Check

Saturday, no calendar, still sitting at the mirror

Doing the whole routine like there's a red carpet in the hallway

Lipstick in the shade I save for special occasions

Turns out I'm the special occasion

One more mirror check

Nowhere to be today

This one's just for me

And I like what I see

Hair up, hair down, hair up again — we're taking our sweet time

The playlist's getting better and the coffee's getting cold

I wink at my reflection like we're in on something

And she winks right back — she knows

One more mirror check

Nowhere to be today

This one's just for me

And I like what I see

No audience, no occasion

Sold-out show, one seat

Wearing the good perfume just to water my plants

The afternoon light lands like a spotlight on the floor

One quick photo just for me — the archive of good days

Me and me, we're doing fine

One more mirror check

Nowhere to be today

This one's just for me

And I like what I see

One more mirror check

Nowhere to be today

This one's just for me —

And she smiled first this time
