How can I decode a message encrypted with a one time pad?

Question

I know that a one-time pad requires a non-repeating key at least equal to the length of the message to encode, but I have no idea how (or if it is even possible) to decode such a message using a one time pad. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do it the same way it was encrypted, but backwards.
